Easier Record Expungement for First-Time, Low-Level Drug Offenses

This bill makes it easier for first-time, low-level, nonviolent simple possession offenders to clear their records. It means that after successfully completing probation, their past criminal record will no longer be a barrier in daily life, regardless of their age at the time of the offense.
Key points
Removes the age requirement for individuals seeking to expunge records of first-time, minor drug offenses.
Allows individuals with a clean slate after serving their sentence to more easily return to normal life, free from past stigma.
