In December 2023, the Pennsylvania legislature passed, and Gov. Josh Shapiro signed, a new law expanding eligibility for record-clearing. The new law goes into effect Feb. 12, 2024. Attend the clinic to get started now!

Under the new law, you are eligible for an expungement if you meet these qualifications:

  • Only non-conviction charges, including ARD, or summary convictions with no arrests in the past five years can be expunged.

    Note: non summary convictions cannot be expunged until you are at least 70 years old, unless you first receive a pardon.

  • Many misdemeanor convictions may be sealed if seven years have passed.

  • Some low-level drug and property-related felony convictions may be sealed if 10 years have passed.

  • Must have no current criminal charges.
