HB 1110 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Vacating convictions for driving under the influence.

HB 1110 allows individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or related offenses (RCW 46.61.502/504) to apply to have their conviction records vacated, meaning the conviction is removed from their legal record. To qualify, applicants must have completed all sentence terms (including fines), have no pending charges, and not have recent alcohol/drug violations or domestic violence convictions. The bill specifically restricts vacating records for DUI offenses if the applicant has a subsequent DUI conviction within five years, is on probation for a DUI, or holds a commercial driver's license. It also includes special provisions for victims of trafficking or domestic violence. This process applies only to misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor DUI convictions meeting all specified criteria.
