      arrested. The  division  shall  promptly  transmit  to  such  forwarding
      officer  or  agency  a  report  containing  any information on file with

      report stating that the person arrested has no previous record according
      to its files.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the division has not
      received disposition information within two  years  of  an  arrest,  the
      division  shall, until such information or up-to-date status information
      is received, withhold the record of that arrest and any related activity
      in disseminating criminal history information.

      the  proceeding  may  be  originated  and  two  copies  thereof  to  the
      presentment  agency  who shall furnish a copy thereof to counsel for the
      respondent or to the respondent's law guardian.
