Massachusetts S1095 allows courts to expunge records of non-convictions under certain conditions.

Massachusetts S1095 amends the General Laws to allow courts to order the expungement of records created from criminal or juvenile court appearances if the accused is found not guilty or the charge is dismissed. Additionally, records may be expunged if a criminal case charge is nolled and no prosecution occurs within thirteen months, or if a charge is continued at the request of the prosecuting attorney for thirteen months without prosecution. This bill aims to provide relief to individuals who have been formally charged but not convicted.
