Virginia Enacts 'Clean Slate' Law to Clear Minor Offenses
Original: Virginia Becomes Latest State to Enact ‘Clean Slate’ Law, to Help Residents Move on from Minor Offenses https:// fed.bri
Virginia has become the latest US state to adopt a 'Clean Slate' law, which automatically clears or seals records of certain minor offenses, helping residents move past old mistakes when seeking jobs, housing, and opportunities. Supporters say the measure gives people a genuine second chance, and the state joins a growing list of states adopting similar record-clearing reforms.
Why now: States across the US are expanding automatic record-sealing reforms, and Virginia's adoption adds momentum to the trend.
