Under existing law, a person charged with a misdemeanor criminal offense, traffic violation, or municipal ordinance violation and felony offenses, excluding violent offenses, may petition the circuit court to have the criminal record expunged if the charge was dismissed or if he or she meets other limited conditions.
This bill would expand the expungement of criminal records to include all felony charges, including violent offenses, when the person has been found not guilty of the crime.
