The Clean Slate Act would let certain former offenders have their criminal records sealed from the public after a court order and a one‑year waiting period, provided they meet strict eligibility rules and stay crime‑free. The sealed record can still be seen by courts, law‑enforcement, some employers, insurance companies, and in specific situations such as running for office or applying for a firearms license. The law takes effect 15 days after publication, and people with older records have two years to apply.
