Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the expungement of non-convictions. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to expand the expungement of non-convictions in Massachusetts. Specifically, it allows courts to order the expungement of records resulting from criminal or juvenile court appearances where the accused was found not guilty, the charges were dismissed, or the charges were nolled (not prosecuted) or continued for at least 13 months with no further prosecution. This provides a pathway for individuals to have certain non-conviction records removed from their criminal history, which can help remove barriers they may face in areas like employment or housing.
