Rhode Island S3103 amends expungement laws to align with a 10-year lookback period for DUI charges.

Rhode Island S3103 modifies existing expungement laws to ensure they are consistent with the new 10-year lookback period required for DUI charges. This bill allows individuals to file a motion for the expungement of records relating to DUI charges after ten years from the completion of their sentence. The expungement process involves a hearing where the court reviews the person's driving record, employment history, family background, and other relevant factors. The bill takes effect upon passage.
