2004 House Bill 5493

House Roll Call 973: Passed

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 either one felony offense and no other offenses, or not more than two misdemeanor offenses, to apply to have the convictions set aside. This would not apply to a conviction for 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.
