Fraudulent Check Expungement

Summary

The bill creates a pathway for individuals convicted of two or more misdemeanor fraudulent‑check offenses in magistrate court to have those convictions and arrest records erased after a ten‑year clean‑record period and full restitution. It also requires law‑enforcement agencies to delete arrest records that resulted from mistaken identity within 180 days, while keeping limited sealed information for a short period. The changes aim to give eligible offenders a fresh start and protect innocent people from lingering wrongful arrest data.
