New expungement laws change the waiting periods to set aside a conviction. If an individual is setting aside more than one felony, the waiting period is now seven years after sentencing, completion of a term of probation, discharge from parole, or completion of any term of imprisonment. The waiting period to set aside one felony or one or more serious misdemeanors is five years after your conviction. For minor misdemeanors, the waiting period is three years.
This set of laws is being phased in over time. Within a couple years, certain convictions will be automatically expunged without an individual needing to apply for expungement.
