AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's criminal record expungement and limited access laws. It provides for automatic expungement of certain acquittal records, expands the eligibility for petition for limited access to criminal records, and requires the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, Pennsylvania Board of Pardons, and Pennsylvania State Police to identify and process eligible records for clean slate limited access within 365 days of the bill's effective date. The bill also adds a provision allowing the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing to maintain a list of expunged or limited access records for research and statistical purposes.
