Bill overview
This bill expands the categories of victims who can petition a Nevada court to have a criminal conviction vacated and sealed, specifically focusing on individuals who have been victims of human trafficking. It broadens the offenses covered to include any crime under Nevada law and any violation of a local ordinance, and it retroactively applies to convictions obtained before or after the bill’s effective date. The bill also revises criminal procedure to accommodate these changes and establishes a presumption in favor of vacating convictions and sealing records for eligible victims.
