Lets some people clear certain check fraud records
Lets people with multiple minor misdemeanor fraudulent check convictions within three years ask a court to erase their arrest and conviction records. They must wait ten years after their last conviction, avoid new convictions in that time, and pay back all the checks. Also requires police and prosecutors to destroy arrest records of people arrested by mistaken identity within 180 days, with the record kept sealed in some cases.
