Of course it will be on her record, and no, it can't be 'expunged'. That commitment may also have made her into a 'prohibited person' under federal and state law who cannot own or possess a firearm or ammunition. If concerned about that, check with the local police or district attorneys dept, or apply at a gun store for a 'NON- purchase background check'.
