Ohio HB509 modifies criminal record expungement rules to exclude certain financial records.

Ohio HB509 amends the process for sealing and expunging criminal records in Ohio. When a court orders the sealing or expungement of a criminal record, it must destroy or erase most records related to the conviction or bail forfeiture. However, the clerk of courts may retain specific financial records, including the amount, date and time, and purpose of a transaction, without identifying information. The bill also outlines procedures for sealing or expunging records, including timelines, fees, and considerations for victims and prosecutors.
