Creates a new federal process to automatically seal, and to allow people to petition to seal, many federal arrest and conviction records—focusing on nonviolent offenses and many marijuana-related offenses. It limits public access to sealed records, defines who is eligible, preserves specific law‑enforcement and safety exceptions, sets penalties for improper disclosure, and requires the Attorney General and courts to build procedures and systems and to meet implementation deadlines and reporting requirements.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Introduced April 30, 2025 by Lucy Mcbath · Last progress April 30, 2025
