Massachusetts H1693 aims to remove collateral consequences and protect the presumption of innocence by sealing criminal records that do not result in.
Massachusetts H1693 seeks to amend existing laws to ensure that criminal records not resulting in a conviction are sealed automatically. This includes offenses that are pending or where the individual is found not guilty. The bill mandates that criminal justice agencies provide access to sealed records upon request without requiring a court order. It also ensures that individuals who objected to sealing or have unsealed offenses can request sealing at a later time.
