AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's criminal record expunction law to allow individuals to petition for expungement of a criminal offense that occurred at least 10 years after a driving under the influence (DUI) conviction, under specific conditions. To be eligible, a person must: have a prior DUI conviction, have fully completed their sentence (including paying all fines and completing probation), never have been granted an expunction before, and have only one lifetime DUI conviction. The petitioner can only seek this type of expunction once, and the existing rules for expunction petitions will apply. Importantly, this provision becomes effective on July 1, 2025, and applies specifically to offenses that are already eligible for expunction under existing law. The bill aims to provide a limited pathway for individuals with a single DUI conviction to clear their criminal record after meeting stringent requirements and a significant time has passed since the offense.
