While law enforcement would still have access to these records, this bill would allow people to keep stable jobs, maintain economic stability, and continue giving back to the community. This bill amends legislation overwhelmingly passed in 2019, which automatically sealed some arrest records with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that did not lead to convictions. In advocating for this approach, crime survivors have emphasized that removing obstacles to jobs and housing would help stop cycles of crime and strengthen communities hardest hit by violence.
