Expunction - As introduced, shortens the length of time that a petitioner must wait before having an eligible Class D felony expunged from 10 years after the completion of the sentence imposed for the offense the petitioner is seeking to have expunged, to eight years from completion. - Amends TCA Title 40, Chapter 32.

SB 761 shortens the waiting period for people convicted of Class D felonies to clear their criminal records through expungement in Tennessee. Currently, individuals must wait 10 years after finishing their sentence to petition for expungement; this bill reduces that period to 8 years. The change applies specifically to Class D felony convictions under Tennessee law, modifying the timeline in state code (TCA § 40-32-101). The bill amends the existing waiting period requirement without altering eligibility criteria or other offense classifications.
