Georgia Conviction Expungement Law for First Time Offenders

This petition was published by Anonymous on Jul 10, 2007

Please amend the law in the State of Georgia to allow those convicted of felonies at 19 or under to petition the court for record sealing or expungement so those non-violent offenders who have proven they have changed, do not have to wear a “badge” the rest of their lives making it harder for them to acquire gainful employment, even after completing college, etc.

Many people convicted at the age of 18 and 19 do and did not understand how long lasting the result of their actions would be, even after fines and restitution have long been paid.
