New Law Allows Some Criminals To Expunge Records

Posted: Updated:

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- A new law will soon give residents convicted of certain crimes a shot at a new beginning.

Due to legislation just passed, starting July first some Tennesseans will be able to get their criminal records expunged. Crimes eligible have to be misdemeanors or a class E felony like forgery, theft and vandalism. DUI, violent and sexual offenders are not eligible.

Applicants also need to have paid all fines and court costs before applying.
