An act relating to sealing records of nonviolent offenses

This bill expands the list of nonviolent crimes eligible for sealing from criminal history records in Vermont, allowing individuals to have certain misdemeanors and specific felonies removed from public view. It also establishes automatic expungement for most municipal violations after three years and adds a retroactive date for motor vehicle violations. The law excludes serious offenses such as sexual exploitation of children, violations of protection orders, and crimes involving violence or abuse from being sealed.
