Comments
This should not apply to DUI, there is no cure for those people according to the united states Surgeon General. Drunk drivers repeat their crimes 8 times higher than sex offenders.
My Bad, I read the bill wrong.
The ACLU of Virginia is monitoring this bill that would allow nonviolent misdemeanor convictions to be expunged after five years.
