Why it’s still so hard to wipe away a criminal record despite promise of law Murphy signed

Kim was 20 years old when she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit burglary.
Now 34, she works the same job she had prior to the offense. She says she turned down a series of promotions because a quick background check would disqualify her because her the company has a rule against putting people with criminal pasts into management.
But Kim, whose name has been changed because her record was cleared, has a second chance. The state expunged her crime in November. That means her past criminal record is sealed from public view. Future landlords or employers won’t be able to find it on a background check. Without expungements, people can struggle to secure good jobs, student loans or housing due to their tainted records.
