Weldon Angelos Presidential Pardon Expungements Act
This bill would allow individuals who have received a full, unconditional presidential pardon for their criminal offenses to have their official criminal records expunged (removed from public view). It specifically targets people like Weldon Angelos, who was pardoned after serving 13 years for nonviolent marijuana offenses with no prior criminal record. The law would require federal courts to review and expunge records for eligible individuals within two years of enactment, with specific procedures for notification and handling of records. It aims to help pardoned individuals overcome barriers to employment and other opportunities that persist due to their criminal records.
