IN HB1260

Allows individuals to petition for expungement of felony convictions committed before age 25, after 12 years have passed since completing their sentence and satisfying all obligations

Persons convicted of sex crimes under IC 35-42-4 are permanently ineligible to petition for expungement regardless of age at the time of offense

Courts may deny expungement if the person has been convicted of any felony or Class A misdemeanor committed on or after their 25th birthday

Courts consider rehabilitation, job performance, job retention, community service, family and child support obligations, and restitution completion when evaluating petitions

Law enforcement agencies, prosecuting attorneys, or courts may petition to unseal expunged records upon showing good cause, with records to be resealed when the reason for access ends
