AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL PROCEDURE -- EXPUNGEMENT OF CRIMINAL RECORDS

Summary

The law lets people who have only one felony or misdemeanor, or who have a small number of non‑violent offenses, petition the court to seal their conviction records once they have paid any fines and stayed crime‑free for a prescribed time. It excludes violent crimes and a list of other prohibited offenses, and requires notice to law‑enforcement agencies and a court hearing that considers the applicant’s character and rehabilitation.
