Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill allows judges to waive court fees for people seeking to expunge their criminal records if they can prove they are poor. It also removes a rule that stopped court documents from being sent out while a judge decided if someone could afford the fees. These changes apply to expungement cases and aim to make the process more accessible for low-income individuals.
