Virginia’s Fresh Start Law Gives Thousands a Second Chance at a Brighter Future
Quick Smiles:
- Virginia’s Clean Slate law is now in effect, automatically sealing minor misdemeanor records.
- Residents with convictions for petit larceny, trespassing, or underage alcohol offenses can now pursue jobs and loans without old records holding them back.
- The automatic sealing process removes barriers, helping families rebuild and communities thrive.
Virginia’s new Clean Slate law came into effect last Thursday, meaning that thousands of misdemeanor offenses will be automatically sealed to help residents move forward with employment or loan opportunities.
The law automatically seals criminal records for Virginians who were convicted in various cases including certain misdemeanors like petit larceny and trespassing, or underage alcohol offenses.
The change is expected to open doors that were once closed, allowing more people to contribute fully to their families and neighborhoods.
