DETAILS
The Clean Slate bill will automatically seal certain criminal records of individuals who have remained free of crime for a period of time.
The bill will be introduced in both the House and the Senate with support from both sides of the aisle, including Senator Scott Wagner (R-28th), Senator Anthony Williams (D-8th), Rep. Sheryl Delozier (R-88th) and Rep. Jordan Harris (D-186th).
“Bi-partisan support is the most exciting thing about this,” says Sharon Deitrich, litigation director at Community Legal Services.
