The bill amends existing laws regarding the expungement of criminal records, specifically focusing on the eligibility criteria for individuals seeking to have their records cleared. It allows individuals with multiple felony convictions, who have not been convicted of a felony considered a crime of violence, to file a motion for the expungement of any or all of those felony convictions in the court where the convictions occurred. However, multiple convictions for offenses under chapter 29 of title 12 are not eligible for expungement.

Individuals may file for expungement after ten years from the completion of their last sentence. The bill also outlines the process for filing a motion for expungement, which includes notifying relevant authorities and the criteria the court will consider when granting expungement. These criteria include that the petitioner has not been convicted or arrested for any felony or misdemeanor in the ten years preceding the filing of the motion, there are no pending criminal proceedings against the person, and the individual has exhibited good moral character.

The act emphasizes that individuals convicted of violent felonies or specific offenses under chapter 29 of title 12 remain ineligible for expungement. Overall, the act aims to provide a pathway for rehabilitation while maintaining public safety considerations.
