Kenneth P. Thompson Begin Again Act

This bill amends federal law to remove an age restriction for clearing certain drug-related court records. It eliminates the requirement that nonviolent offenders must have been under 21 years old at the time of simple possession of controlled substances to qualify for record expungement. The change directly affects individuals convicted of nonviolent drug possession who were 21 or older when the offense occurred, allowing them to seek record clearance under the same terms previously available only to younger offenders. The key mechanism is a specific amendment to Section 3607(c) of Title 18, U.S. Code, broadening eligibility for expungement.
