Introduced in the Senate on September 10, 2008, 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 more than one felony offense to have these "set aside," or expunged from the person's public record, if the convictions arose from the same criminal act. This would not apply if more than one of the convictions is for a felony, or if the conviction is for an assautive crime, criminal sexual conduct, domestic violence, or crimes punishable by life imprisonment. Under current law, only a person with a single criminal conviction can petition to have the record expunged.
- Referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 10, 2008.

"Bueller... Bueller... anyone?...".

Yes, it's CERTAINLY time that a bill such as this passes. I'm just getting into trying to clean up some crap that I pulled as a drunken-idiot, college-aged kid (non-violent, non-drug, etc..). While I was only in jail for ninety days, they were felonies (all the same), nonetheless. It has made me ineligible from certain jobs in the past, but enough is enough... those transgressions were a "lifetime" ago. I've pretty much been a Boy Scout ever since. Please don't get me wrong, folks... I'm not whining, and am CERTAINLY not dismissing what I did. But times change, and so do a lot of people.

If you have of copy of you criminal record or know the detail of it you can use this criminal record expungement eligibility check to see if you're eligible. Just answer some questions then it will tell you if you can and it doesn't cost anything.
