Summary
House Bill 3184 would raise the maximum penalty threshold for crimes eligible for expungement from those carrying maximum penalties of $500 or 30 days to $1,000, expanding eligibility; the committee gave the bill a favorable report.
The House Judiciary Committee reported favorably on H.3184, a bill to raise the maximum-penalty threshold for expungement eligibility. Mr. Weeks said the bill would amend the code to increase the maximum penalty from $500 or 30 days in jail to $1,000, thereby expanding the list of offenses eligible for expungement.
