Require the establishment of a program to provide second chance relief for eligible committed offenders

Summary

The bill establishes a Clean Slate Act that automatically seals the records of qualifying misdemeanor offenders after a set waiting period and allows them to petition for relief. It also creates a second‑chance relief program that lets long‑term prisoners apply for sentence commutations based on age, time served, and rehabilitation. The goal is to reduce barriers to employment, housing and education while saving state costs and improving public safety.
