Panel approves raising expungement threshold to $1,000
Summary
The committee voted to report House Bill 3184 favorably; the bill raises the maximum penalty for crimes eligible for expungement from $500/30 days to $1,000, expanding expungement eligibility.
House Bill 3184, presented by Mr. Weeks, would raise the maximum penalty for crimes eligible for expungement from a threshold of $500 or 30 days in jail to $1,000, thereby expanding the number of crimes that can be expunged.
Mr. Weeks explained that current law limits expungement to lower-penalty offenses and that the bill would increase that maximum to $1,000. The chair called the question and the committee voted to report the bill favorably to the full House.
