The bill amends the existing laws regarding the expungement of criminal records, specifically in sections 12-1.3-2 and 12-1.3-3. It permits individuals who have been convicted of more than one felony and/or more than one misdemeanor, provided they have not been convicted of a felony that is considered a crime of violence, to file a motion for expungement of any or all of those convictions. Individuals with such convictions may seek expungement after ten years from the completion of their last sentence.

The bill specifies that convictions for certain offenses, including those under chapter 29 of title 12 and under 31-27-2 or 31-27-2.1, are not eligible for expungement. It also outlines the criteria for determining good moral character, which the court must consider when evaluating expungement requests. The court will assess the petitioner's background, employment, family ties, community involvement, and other relevant factors to determine if the individual exhibits good moral character.

Additionally, the bill establishes procedural requirements for filing a motion for expungement, including the necessity of notifying relevant authorities and the criteria the court must evaluate during the hearing. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
