The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Fresh Start Act of 2025, is to improve the process of sealing and expunging criminal records. It aims to provide grants to states to modernize their criminal justice data systems, making it easier and more efficient to automatically seal or expunge records without requiring individuals to take action. Key provisions of the Act include the establishment of grants for states to support the implementation of laws that allow for automatic expungement or sealing of criminal records.
