Bill Combined w/SCS SBs 854 & 1494

Mar 25, 2026

Summary

The bill would automatically close (expunge) electronic records for eligible misdemeanors and felonies when the offender meets time‑and‑behavior criteria, removing the need to file a petition. It applies to people who have completed suspended sentences, probation, or who are 65 or older with a clean recent history, but excludes juvenile cases, motor‑vehicle offenses, and anyone with pending charges. The change aims to streamline record clearing while limiting how many offenses each person can have expunged.
