Relating to the expunction of all records and files related to arrests for certain decriminalized misdemeanor offenses.

SB 1515 allows individuals to have all arrest records erased for certain misdemeanor offenses that were later decriminalized by law. It applies to people convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication for a misdemeanor that became non-criminal after their arrest, provided their sentence was fully completed. The bill creates a new legal process requiring a court petition (filed in the county where the arrest occurred or the offense happened) and proof that the offense was statutorily decriminalized. This change directly affects people with qualifying arrest records who meet the conditions, enabling them to clear their records without having to prove innocence or complete additional steps beyond fulfilling their sentence.
