This is news? It's not just an option to have a record sealed up on successful completion of a DJ, it's mandated by statutory language that the Court SHALL seal the record of the Defendant. There are a couple of exceptions, like a DUI or some Misdemeanor Sex Offenses, but other than that, it's as simple as paying the filing fee and appearing (though most DA's stipulate to the non-appearance) before the Judge to finalize the process.
