A bill for an act relating to the expungement of certain criminal history records of victims of human trafficking, and including penalties.

HF 2144 allows victims of human trafficking to petition courts to remove criminal records related to offenses committed while they were victims. It requires a sworn statement and official documentation (if available), waives all filing fees, and grants expungement if the court finds the offenses resulted from the victimization. Serious crimes like homicide, sexual abuse, kidnapping, and robbery are excluded from eligibility. Once granted, expunged records become confidential but remain accessible to law enforcement and for firearm background checks. This applies to records from arrests or charges, regardless of case outcome.
