States could get federal money to automatically clear certain old criminal records.
The Fresh Start Act of 2025 would help states get federal money. This money would be used to set up systems that automatically seal or clear certain past criminal records. This means people with eligible records would not have to apply or pay fees to get them cleared. States would also need to report data on these record clearings each year.
Today, states can get federal grants to improve their criminal justice data systems, but not specifically for setting up automatic record clearing. If this bill passes, states would be able to use these grants to create systems that automatically seal or clear certain criminal records, without people needing to apply or pay fees.
