Summary
The bill changes state law so that anyone arrested on or after Jan. 1, 1973 whose charge was dismissed can have that arrest erased, even if it was for a felony. It also makes it easier to clear convictions when no new activity has occurred for several years. Courts must note the relief in their databases and the state will reimburse local agencies for the added workload.
