HB 83 -- Criminal Records

Sponsor:  Hand

The bill allows a person convicted of a nonviolent crime to
apply to the court where the person was convicted to have
records of the persons' arrest, plea, trial, or conviction
expunged, if 5 years have elapsed since the person's conviction.
A nonviolent crime is a crime that the court decides does not
involve violence or the threat of violence.

In addition, the bill gives a person whose record has been
expunged immunity from civil or criminal liability for failure
to acknowledge the person's arrest, plea, trial, or conviction.
