Colorado Governor Signs Bill Allowing Criminal Records to Be Sealed
Corporate Site
Thank you to our friends over at BRB Publications for the heads up on this.
Colorado governor, Bill Ritter Jr. has just signed into law House Bill 08-1082 which revises an existing law allowing individuals to petition to seal the records of criminal charges dismissed as the result of a plea bargain in another case after waiting ten years (previous law allowed for petition after 15 years). The new law allows those with convictions for petty offenses, misdemeanors, or class 5 or 6 felonies for drug possession charges to seal the record of conviction after ten years following completion of sentence. This doesn’t apply to charges involving the sale, manufacture or dispensing of controlled drugs.
