Arizona HB2859 allows eligible individuals to petition the court to seal their arrest, conviction, and sentencing records for nondangerous felonies.

Arizona HB2859 amends the state's statutes to allow individuals convicted of nondangerous felonies to petition the court to seal their arrest, conviction, and sentencing records. This applies to those who have completed all terms and conditions of their sentence, including paying all fines, fees, and restitution. Sealed records may not be used for certain purposes, such as enhancing a sentence for a subsequent felony or impeaching a party or witness in a subsequent trial.
