Establishes procedures for the automatic expungement of certain criminal offenses

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates a process for the automatic expungement of certain criminal records in Missouri, meaning eligible records would be closed without a person needing to file a petition. It outlines criteria for which misdemeanor and felony offenses are eligible, including time passed since final disposition and no new offenses, and sets limits on the number of expungements a person can receive. The bill also details the roles of the state courts administrator, prosecuting agencies, and the central repository in identifying, reviewing, and processing these automatic expungements, while ensuring certain agencies can still access these records for specific purposes.
