SB 18-072

Senate Bill 18-072 allows people who were convicted of misdemeanor menacing or third-degree assault (but not for domestic violence) to ask the court to seal their conviction records. This means that once approved, these past convictions would be hidden from public view and treated as if they never happened when it comes to background checks. The bill has been signed into law, so people can now start petitioning courts to have certain misdemeanor convictions sealed.
