A bill for an act relating to the expungement of certain criminal history records of victims of human trafficking, and including penalties.
House File 926 creates a process for victims of human trafficking to petition the court for expungement of certain criminal history records. This allows records for offenses committed while they were victims to be removed from public access. Petitioners must submit a sworn statement, and official documentation of their victim status can be provided, though it's not strictly required. The bill specifies that no fees are charged for filing these petitions, and expunged records become confidential, though they remain accessible to criminal justice agencies or by court order. However, certain serious offenses, such as homicide or sexual abuse, are not eligible for expungement under this bill.
