SB 307 - 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.
