For legislation relative to restoration of rights. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to allow individuals with felony convictions in Massachusetts who have not engaged in any criminal activity for 10 years after completing their sentence to have their criminal record expunged and their full rights of citizenship restored. To do so, they must apply to the Superior Court in their jurisdiction and provide certified evidence of no criminal activity from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Massachusetts Criminal Offenders Record Information (CORI) system. The exception to this is for cases where firearms were used in the original criminal offense.
