Relating to expungement of certain criminal convictions

HB 3289 allows individuals convicted of nonviolent felonies or multiple misdemeanors to petition for expungement of their records after completing specific programs. Eligible individuals must successfully complete 90 days of approved substance abuse treatment, graduate from a state-approved job readiness training course, or finish a drug court program. The bill waives the $100 expungement fee for these petitions and sets timeframes: one year after completion for multiple misdemeanors, and three years for nonviolent felonies. This change directly affects people with qualifying convictions who complete these rehabilitation or training programs.
