Removing Age Limit for Expunging First-Time Simple Drug Possession Records.
This bill eliminates the age requirement for individuals seeking to clear their criminal records related to a first-time, low-level, nonviolent simple drug possession offense. Previously, only those under 21 at the time of the offense qualified. The change allows more adults who successfully complete probation to expunge their records, offering them a better chance at employment and housing.
Key points
The requirement that the offender must have been under 21 years old to qualify for record expungement is removed.
Expungement opportunity is expanded to all first-time, low-level, nonviolent simple possession offenders who complete probation successfully.
