Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to the expungement of convictions for certain class "D" felonies, and related convictions, and to the definition of a conviction relating to the possession, receipt, and transportation of firearms, offensive weapons, and ammunition. (Formerly HF 223.)

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the definition of a "conviction" under Iowa law to exclude certain expunged convictions, deferred judgments, and pardoned offenses from being considered as prior convictions for purposes of prohibiting the possession of firearms, offensive weapons, and ammunition. The bill also establishes a process for individuals convicted of certain class "D" felonies to apply to have those convictions expunged, provided they meet certain criteria, such as having completed their sentence and not having any subsequent felony or violent misdemeanor convictions. The bill applies retroactively to convictions entered prior to, on, or after July 1, 2021.
