Introduced
by
To revise the grounds for seeking to have a criminal record expunged from a person’s record. The bill would allow a person convicted of only one felony offense or not more than two misdemeanor offenses to apply to have either the felony conviction or one or both of the misdemeanors expunged. This would not apply to a conviction for an assaultive crime, including criminal sexual conduct, convictions for crimes punishable by life imprisonment, or traffic offenses. Under current law, only a person with a single criminal conviction can petition to have the record expunged.
