2006 Special Committee on Expunction of Criminal Records

The special committee is directed to study the circumstances under which records related to civil forfeiture and criminal proceedings may be expunged by Wisconsin courts and other record custodians. The circumstances to be considered include whether a record subject is a first offender, the age of the record subject, the time that has elapsed since the proceeding was commenced or the record subject was convicted, and the nature or seriousness of the crime or violation.
