Allows expungement of multiple non-violent felony convictions after 10 years post-sentence completion.
This bill amends Rhode Island's expungement laws to allow individuals with multiple non-violent felony convictions to petition for expungement of their records after completing their sentences. The bill specifies that expungement is not available for those convicted of violent crimes. To qualify, individuals must have no new convictions, arrests, or pending criminal proceedings, and must demonstrate good moral character and rehabilitation. The court retains discretion to grant expungement if it finds the petitioner has met these conditions.
