Senate Bill 391, which expands existing expungement law to include many misdemeanors, is schedule to be voted on by the full Senate today.   The bill received unanimous support from the Appropriations Committee in April of 2013.   If passed by the Senate, the bill would move to the State House for consideration.

Senator Solobay Tweeted that the bill should receive a vote today.
