Bill > H4158

This bill aims to expand opportunities for individuals in the criminal offender record information (CORI) system. It proposes changes to the types of criminal records that can be accessed, limiting the time period for which certain types of convictions and pending charges can be reported. Specifically, the bill would limit the disclosure of felony convictions or findings of not guilty by reason of insanity to 10 years, misdemeanor convictions to 5 years, and pending criminal charges (except for individuals with no prior record and certain excluded charges) until the case is dismissed. The bill also clarifies the definition of "pending criminal charges" to exclude certain misdemeanor charges for individuals with no prior record and charges not delineated in a specific section of state law.
