Bill overview
This bill creates a process for people in Arizona to have certain misdemeanor records expunged from their criminal history. Generally, a person can petition the court to have their record cleared if they were arrested for a misdemeanor and no charges were filed, charged and the case was dismissed, or convicted and completed probation. The petition must meet specific requirements, and the court will consider factors like pending legal issues and outstanding debts before granting the expungement. If approved, the court will seal the records and notify relevant agencies, allowing the individual to present themselves as if the offense never occurred, with some exceptions.
