Maryland SB525 allows for the expungement of misdemeanor and felony convictions after a certain period, with specific criteria for consideration.

Maryland SB525 amends the criminal procedure to allow individuals to petition for the expungement of misdemeanor and felony convictions after completing their sentences, parole, probation, and any mandatory treatment. The court must consider the nature of the crime, the person's history and character, risk to public safety, rehabilitation success, time since conviction, and impact on employment, education, housing, public assistance, and economic stability. A denial of a petition cannot be appealed, and a subsequent petition cannot be filed for a certain period.
