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 outlines the process for filing a motion for expungement, which includes notifying relevant authorities and specifies the criteria the court will consider when granting expungement. The court must find that the petitioner has maintained good moral character and has not been convicted or arrested for any felony or misdemeanor in the ten years preceding the filing of the motion, and that there are no pending criminal proceedings against the person.

This act will take effect upon passage.
