Bill overview
This bill creates a process for certain defendants who were victims of domestic violence or substantial abuse to have their convictions expunged, provided the conviction is substantially related to the abuse. It allows individuals convicted of offenses other than murder or those requiring sex offender registration to petition the Superior Court for expungement if they meet specific criteria related to their abuse history. The bill outlines factors the court must consider and ensures the expungement has the same legal effect as other expungement orders.
