Senate Bill 111: The Clean Slate Act
- Status: Signed by Governor
- Position: Support
- Bill Number: Senate Bill 111
- Session: 151st General Assembly
- Latest Update: April 14, 2021
Over 60,000 Delawareans are currently eligible for expungement, but only 6% of those eligible can access expungement. Current expungement standards are time-consuming, costly, and difficult to navigate. A lack of information and a burdensome process keep most eligible people from pursuing expungement.
The Clean Slate Act creates greater equity, consistency, and cost-effectiveness through a streamlined, automatic expungement process that applies to all records eligible for mandatory expungement. Expunging or sealing a record allows individuals who have paid their debt to society to access employment, housing, and education, and to contribute to their communities.
