AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Clean Slate Act of 2021," proposes to automatically seal certain criminal records, including records related to arrests for federal offenses that did not result in convictions, and convictions for federal non-violent offenses involving marijuana. The bill also provides a process for individuals convicted of other eligible non-violent federal offenses to petition the court to have their records sealed, if they have completed their sentence and have limited criminal histories. The bill aims to protect individuals with these types of records from having to disclose them, and to prevent them from being used in background checks, with some exceptions for law enforcement and national security purposes.
