Bill overview
The Fresh Start Act of 2025 aims to modernize criminal justice data systems across states to facilitate automatic record expungement and sealing. It establishes a grant program, providing up to $5 million per state, to help states implement laws that automatically expunge or seal eligible criminal records without requiring individual action. The grants are contingent on states having existing expungement laws that don't delay expungement due to fees and fines, and require states to track and report data on the impact of these changes.
