MD SB432

Standardizes expungement waiting periods to begin from "completion of the sentence" (including probation, parole, or mandatory supervision) rather than from the date of conviction or satisfaction of sentence

Expands the list of misdemeanor convictions eligible for expungement by adding violations of Transportation Article § 16-101 and removing several Criminal Law Article sections (§ 8-106, § 8-204, § 8-610, § 9-408, § 9-501, § 9-502)

Requires courts to consider the petitioner's success at probation, parole, or mandatory supervision and whether they have paid court-ordered restitution (or lack ability to pay) when determining expungement eligibility

Prohibits Maryland Judiciary Case Search from displaying records of charges that resulted in acquittal, dismissal, nolle prosequi, or stet (after 3 years), and bars display of pardoned cannabis possession convictions

Takes effect October 1, 2025, with Case Search provisions taking effect January 31, 2026; approved by Governor Wes Moore on April 22, 2025
