(3) The mental health specialty court has received a recommendation from the prosecuting attorney for dismissal of the case and the sealing of the record; and

(4) The mental health specialty court, after considering the mental health specialty court program participant's criminal history, determines that dismissal of the case and the sealing of the record are appropriate.

(b) Unless otherwise ordered by the mental health specialty court, sealing of the record under this section shall be as described in the Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act of 2013, § 16-90-1401 et seq.
