SB 603 - Under current law, a person may petition to have records relating to a limited number of felonies and misdemeanors expunged. This act provides that a person may petition for the expungement of records relating to any infraction, municipal offense, misdemeanor, or felony, except any offense involving the use or possession of a weapon or the infliction of forcible compulsion, physical injury, or death upon another person, or any offense requiring registration on the sex offender registry. In addition, current law requires a person to wait 20 years in the case of a felony and 10 years for a misdemeanor before being eligible to petition for expungement. This act provides that a person may petition for expungement 10 years after completing his or her sentence or probation for a felony and 5 years after completing his or her sentence or probation for a misdemeanor, infraction, or municipal offense. This act is identical to SB 307 (2015). MEGHAN LUECKE
