Automatic Criminal Record Relief Volume II
This Whitepaper provides an overview of state and local laws that automatically expunge adult criminal records.

As part of an ongoing effort to assist businesses in monitoring legislation, HireRight is pleased to present this summary of state and local laws that provide automatic criminal record relief for adult non-conviction records. While the jurisdictions covered in this paper generally offer both automatic and petition-based or motion-based criminal record relief, this paper will cover only automatic relief.
Automatic criminal record relief is different in every jurisdiction and can apply to a wide variety of records from convictions, to dismissed cases, to juvenile records, to arrest records. In this white paper, we will focus only on automatic criminal record relief related to adult non-convictions.
This white paper will not cover juvenile records or conviction records. It also does not cover records for which a pardon has been granted. Automatic criminal record relief related to adult conviction records is covered in volume one of our Automatic Criminal Record Relief series.
