Establishing that a person who has been granted an expungement shall be determined for all purposes not to have been arrested for, cited for, charged with, or convicted of the underlying offense.
AI Summary
This bill establishes that if a person receives an expungement, which is a legal process to remove a criminal record, they will be treated as if they were never arrested, cited, charged with, or convicted of the offense that was expunged, for any purpose. This means that for all intents and purposes, the past offense will be erased from their record and will not be considered in future situations.
