Plain-English Summary

The Fresh Start Act would give people with certain criminal convictions the ability to have their records sealed or expunged after meeting specific conditions like completing their sentences and staying out of trouble for a set period. This would help formerly incarcerated individuals access jobs, housing, and education more easily by limiting what employers and landlords can see about their past convictions. The bill affects people with criminal records, employers, and the criminal justice system.
