In SUPPORT to SB 7, “An act relating to expanding access to expungement and sealing of criminal history records”
Chairman Sears Jr. and members of the committee,
My name is Anthony Lamorena, and I am a government affairs associate for the R Street Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government in many areas, including criminal justice reform, and that is why we are interested in SB 7.
Here at R Street, we have been longtime supporters of initiatives that aim to expand expungement eligibility for individuals who have made mistakes but deserve another chance. Record-clearing measures, such as SB 7, can promote human dignity, preserve public safety, ensure healthy families, and create limited and effective government.
