Criminal law: certificate of rehabilitation.
Summary
Existing law allows a person convicted of a felony or a person who is convicted of a misdemeanor violation of a registrable sex offense to file a petition for a certificate of rehabilitation and pardon if, among other requirements, the accusatory pleading has since been dismissed and the person has not been incarcerated since the dismissal. This bill would allow a person convicted of a felony, other than a registrable sex offense, to file a petition without certain requirements including, among other requirements, the dismissal of the accusatory pleading and that the person has not been incarcerated since the dismissal. The bill would retain the existing requirements for filing a petition for any person convicted of a registrable sex offense.
