KY HB373

Human trafficking victims may petition to vacate convictions and expunge records for non-violent offenses that resulted from their trafficking victimization, with petitions filed any time after final judgment

Removes the previous requirement that offense participation be a "direct" result of trafficking; now requires only that it be "a result" of being a trafficking victim

Prosecutors must respond to petitions within 21 days; if no response is filed, the court may grant the petition without a hearing

Government documentation indicating the person was a trafficking victim at the time of the offense creates a presumption that their participation resulted from being trafficked

Voting rights are restored upon vacating a felony conviction, expunged records are deemed never to have occurred for background checks, and the provisions apply retroactively
