Once all of your convictions have been dismissed:
1. On questions by Government Employers or Government Licensing Applications if you are asked if you have ever been convicted of a crime, you MUST respond with "YES-CONVICTION DISMISSED." In California, government employers and licensing agencies (except for police agencies and concessionaire licensing boards), will treat you the same as if you had never been convicted of any crime.
2. You will not be allowed to own or possess a firearm until you would otherwise be able to do so.
3. Your dismissed conviction(s) can still be used to increase your punishment in future criminal cases.
4. Your prior conviction(s) can still affect your driving privileges.
5. If you have been required to register as a sex offender as a result of a conviction, you have to make a different motion to the court in order to be relieved of this requirement. A dismissal will not relieve you of your duty to register as a sex offender.
