Expungement Legislation

Last Updated - 27/08/24

introduction and Purpose

• The purpose of the Expungement Legislation is to allow citizens of the State of San Andreas the opportunity at a second chance of rehabilitation. Every civilian is afforded the consideration and opportunity to remove previous criminal conduct from their record and to pursue a life free from crime.

Constitutional Justification

• Enshrined in the Constitution is every citizen's right to information and the right to due process. Allowing a citizen of the State to review and remove charges from their records with proper Judicial oversight falls underneath these aforementioned rights.

Details and Implementation Plan

It will be the responsibility of the San Andreas Department of Justice to administer expungements to citizens in the State of San Andreas. A Judge or Justice representing the San Andreas Department of Justice may administer the process provided the following two conditions are met:

• The individual seeking the expungement has been crime-free for the last thirty (30) days. This means that they may not have been arrested or charged with any misdemeanors or felonies. The only exception is traffic citations.

• The individual seeking the expungement pays the required amount for the expungement. Each expungement will have an escalating fee associated with it, outlined below.

• The individual first expungement shall cost $50,000. This fee will triple (3x) with each subsequent expungement.

Some charges are not eligible to be expunged from your record.

Conclusion

This will be an ongoing process conducted as part of the day to day duties of outlined members of the Department of Justice. We hope that this will provide every citizen the right to determine their future and be the person they want to be.
