Bill overview
The Clean Slate Act of 2025 aims to help people with past federal marijuana convictions and certain other arrests clear their records. It proposes automatic sealing of records for individuals who meet specific criteria, including having fully completed their sentences for offenses like marijuana possession and not having committed serious crimes. The bill also establishes a process for individuals to petition for sealing of records related to offenses not automatically sealed, balancing public safety concerns with an individual's ability to move forward. Finally, it includes provisions to protect individuals with sealed records from perjury charges and background check restrictions, while ensuring law enforcement and courts have access to relevant information when necessary.
