Senate Bill 2381 and House Bill 2622 propose an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 40-32-102(d), which pertains to the expunction of criminal records. The bill seeks to change the current waiting period for expunction from "thirty (30) days" to "forty-five (45) days." This adjustment aims to provide individuals with a longer timeframe before they can seek the removal of their criminal records.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation. By extending the waiting period, the legislation may impact the process and accessibility of expunction for those seeking to clear their criminal records in Tennessee.
