Removing the one-time limit on the expungement of certain criminal convictions

Summary

The bill changes West Virginia’s expungement law so a person can seek expungement more than once and so burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary are no longer barred. It applies to people with misdemeanor or non‑violent felony convictions who meet the existing waiting periods. The change aims to give more individuals a chance to clear their records.
