Hearing 3/03 at 1:00 p.m. (House)
Summary
The bill lets a person file a petition to remove a misdemeanor record after five years, or a felony record after seven years, once all sentencing requirements are completed. A court may grant the expungement only if it determines there is good cause, considering factors like the crime’s nature and the person’s rehabilitation. If a petition is denied, the decision cannot be appealed and the petitioner must wait three years before trying again for the same conviction.
