There’s an important change the legislature has enacted; it can change lives and we applaud it: PA 21-32. It provides for the erasure of criminal history records for certain misdemeanor and felony offenses.

Specifically, once effective, C.G.S. sec. 54-142a (e) will provide that whenever any person has been convicted in Connecticut of a classified or unclassified misdemeanor, a class D or E felony or an unclassified felony offense carrying a term of imprisonment of not more than five years, any police or court record and record of the state’s or prosecuting attorney or the prosecuting grand juror pertaining to such conviction, or any inmate record pertaining to court obligations arising from such conviction held by the Board of Pardons and Parole shall be erased.
