Relating to the expunction of arrest records and files relating to certain nonviolent misdemeanor offenses.
HB 1666 allows eligible individuals to have arrest records erased for certain nonviolent misdemeanor offenses. It applies to people placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for qualifying misdemeanors (excluding specific offenses like drug violations or sex offenses), who completed supervision without new convictions or pending charges for five years. The bill enables petitioners to file for expungement directly with the court that handled their case, removing all related arrest records. This simplifies the process for individuals with eligible cases who have maintained clean records post-discharge.
