HB1545 amends Tennessee law to allow sealing of criminal history records for certain offenses.
HB1545 amends Tennessee law to allow individuals convicted of specific offenses to petition for the sealing of their criminal history records. Eligible offenses include various types of fraud, theft, arson, vandalism, and other specified crimes. The court may seal the records if the individual has fulfilled all conditions of their sentence, including fines, restitution, and probation, and has been crime-free for at least five years. The sealing process requires a $500 fee and may be rescinded if the individual is charged with a new offense.
