Ohio has a bill proposal that would modify the list of offenses which can’t be sealed, require the sealing of those found not guilty, and allowing certain persons, not first offenders, to apply for orders sealing their records.
Proponents of the bill say it would apply only to low-level, nonviolent offenders, but an article in this morning’s Cleveland Plain Dealer quotes Portage County prosecutor Victor Vigluicci as one opposing it, saying that as the bill’s currently written it includes felonies such as manslaughter, reckless homicide, domestic violence, stalking, and abduction; which he feels are too violent to qualify for any type of explungment.
Senate Bill 197
