Beta

This bill would create a new automatic process to erase certain nonviolent felony convictions from a person's record without requiring them to apply for it. Currently, people must go through steps to seek expungement on their own, so this change would make the process happen on its own for those who qualify. Who it may affect: Kentuckians with eligible nonviolent felony convictions on their records.
