Allows expungement of multiple non-violent felony convictions after 10 years.
This bill amends Rhode Island's expungement laws to allow individuals with multiple non-violent felony convictions to file for expungement after 10 years. The court may order expungement if the person has not been convicted or arrested for any felony or misdemeanor in the preceding 10 years, has no pending criminal proceedings, and has exhibited good moral character. The bill excludes convictions for offenses under certain sections and crimes of violence. The court must notify the attorney general and original charging police department of the hearing.
