New Michigan law clears eligible offenses from criminal records.

Missouri lawmakers are considering bipartisan "clean slate" legislation that would automatically seal certain nonviolent criminal records, eliminating the need for legal intervention. This initiative aims to facilitate reintegration by removing barriers to employment and housing for rehabilitated individuals.​

In April 2025, North Dakota lawmakers approved HB 1166, legislation that expands the eligibility of those who are eligible to have a record sealed after making a mistake and being held accountable.

The Clean Slate Act offers a pathway to automatically seal eligible criminal records, helping millions of Americans access jobs, housing, and a true second chance at life.
