HB 2356 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in criminal history record information, further providing for expungement.

This bill allows individuals in Pennsylvania to request the expungement of their criminal history records once they turn 65 years old, provided they have not been arrested or prosecuted for ten years after being released from confinement or supervision. The change lowers the previous age requirement of 70, making it easier for older adults to clear their records under specific conditions. If passed, the law would take effect 60 days after signing, directly affecting the eligibility criteria for expungement in the state.
