SB854

Missouri SB854 creates provisions for automated expungement of certain criminal records, limiting their reporting and use.

Missouri SB854 establishes a framework for automated expungement of certain criminal records, aiming to close and expunge eligible records without the need for a petition. The bill specifies that clean slate eligible offenses, which include infractions, misdemeanors, and certain felonies, can be automatically expunged if certain conditions are met, such as the passage of time and no further convictions. Expunged records are to be closed and inaccessible to the public, except for specific authorized uses.
