PROCESS TO EXPUNGE/SEAL PAST CONVICTIONS

  • Yes. A state law enacted in 2020 permits those convicted of one or more misdemeanor marijuana offenses to file a petition with the court to have their criminal record “set aside.” A ‘set aside’ clears the public record of a conviction so that it does not appear in a background check. Law enforcement still keeps a non-public record, but people no longer have to disclose their criminal past on job applications or other forms.
