Clean-Slate Legislation in Missouri Sees Bipartisan Push
Missouri is 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. If passed, Missouri would join twelve other states, including neighboring Oklahoma, in implementing such reforms. The bill has garnered support in the state House and is now under consideration in the Senate and by the governor.
