SB 379 (Senate Bill 379)

Senate Bill 379 (SB 379) is legislation that aims to improve how criminal records are handled. It allows certain individuals with prior convictions to request the sealing or destruction of their records after meeting specific conditions, such as completing their sentence and remaining crime-free for a set period. The goal is to provide these individuals with a better chance to find employment and rebuild their lives. The bill balances public safety with giving qualified individuals a fresh start by reducing barriers caused by past criminal records.
