Committee advances bill to expand crimes eligible for expungement
Summary
House Bill 3184 would raise the maximum penalty threshold for offenses eligible for expungement from a $500 or 30-day maximum to a $1,000 maximum; the House Judiciary Committee gave the bill a favorable report after brief discussion.
The House Judiciary Committee voted to give a favorable report to House Bill 3184, which raises the maximum penalty threshold for offenses that may be expunged. Under current law the committee said crimes eligible for expungement are limited to offenses that carry a maximum penalty of $500 or 30 days in jail; H 3184 would raise the maximum penalty to $1,000 and thereby expand the set of offenses eligible for expungement.
Mr. Weeks introduced the measure, summarizing the changes to the code section. The committee did not take amendments and voted to give the bill a favorable report.
What happened next: H 3184 received a favorable report and will proceed to the next stage of consideration in the House.
