What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if a person commits a crime for which the maximum term

of imprisonment is six years or less before he or she reaches the age of 25, a court may

at the time of sentencing order that the court's record of the crime and conviction be

expunged when the person successfully completes his or her sentence if the court

finds that expunging the record will benefit the person and will not harm society.

This bill allows the court to order at any time such a record expunged after the person

completes his or her sentence instead of just at sentencing.
