Sen. Daniel Thatcher (R)

SB 12 (Expungement Amendments)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill makes it easier for a past criminal to expunge their crime—have the government records regarding that circumstance be deleted—in select situations without worrying that violation of a petty offense, such as jaywalking or speeding, would eliminate that opportunity.

Libertas Institute supports this bill. Convicts who have made full restitution should, under limited circumstances, be able to shed that label without losing the opportunity due to a petty offense.
