Description
Sealing of offenses resulting in a deferred and dismissed disposition or conviction. Eliminates the lifetime cap on the number of sealing petitions that may be filed. The bill reduces from seven years to three years for a misdemeanor offense and from 10 years to seven years for a felony offense the minimum period of time between the offense to be sealed and the filing of the sealing petition during which the petitioner must not have been convicted of violating any law of the Commonwealth. The bill also reduces from seven years to three years the minimum period of time between the offense to be sealed and the automatic sealing of a misdemeanor offense. The bill also clarifies that a sealing petition may seal records related to any violation of the terms and conditions of a suspended sentence or probation for such conviction that were specifically set forth in the petition to be sealed.
