HB 1346: Felony vacation of records

Changing provisions relating to vacation of records of conviction for pre-sentencing reform act felony offenses.

Summary

  • Allows records of convictions for certain pre-Sentencing Reform Act felonies to be vacated in the same way as felonies under the Sentencing Reform Act (SRA).
  • Provides, as does the SRA, that vacation of the record of conviction allows the offender to reply on a job application that he or she has not been convicted of the crime.
  • Directs, as does the SRA, that law enforcement agencies are not to disseminate vacated records of convictions except to other law enforcement agencies.
