A local lawmaker is advancing a bill that would automatically expunge the criminal record of some people.
Republican State Representative Tedd Nesbit- which represents a portion of Butler County- was in attendance at a news conference Wednesday about House Bill 440, which would provide an opportunity to expunge a person’s record if they have been unconditionally pardoned, or fully acquitted, of all charges.
This reform of the criminal justice system would include a notice given to the state of the potential expungement, with the chance for objection and a legal hearing.
This bill is currently in the House Judiciary Committee.
