    B.  Upon the motion of a person convicted as a youthful offender, and three (3) years after the expiration of the sentence of the youthful offender, the court may set aside the conviction if:

    2.  The person was discharged from supervision by the Office of Juvenile Affairs, or was granted early discharge from such supervision by the court; or

    3.  The person has completed the sentence imposed as a result of his first conviction as a youthful offender and has no subsequent convictions.

    If a conviction is set aside pursuant to this subsection, the youthful offender shall thereafter be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the offense for which such person was convicted, including but not limited to, any disqualification for any employment or occupational license, or both, created by any other provision of law.  The court may in addition order any law enforcement agency over whom the court has jurisdiction to produce all files and records pertaining to said arrest and conviction of the youthful offender and shall order the clerk of the court to destroy the entire file and record of the case, including docket sheets, index entries, court records, summons, warrants or records in the office of the clerk or which have been produced by a law enforcement agency in which the name of the youthful offender is mentioned.  The court may order probation officers and counselors to destroy all records, reports, and social and clinical studies relating to said youthful offender that are in their possession except when said documents are necessary to maintain state or federal funding.
