Criminal records can limit access to safety-net benefits and job opportunities. In response, 12 states have enacted “Clean Slate” laws, using technology to automate record relief for eligible individuals.
This roundtable will feature researchers from multiple states discussing the status and challenges of Clean Slate policies. The session will cover research on the barriers posed by criminal records, differences in record clearance across states, and implementation hurdles. Speakers will also identify research gaps, particularly around notification, offering insights to help strengthen policy and inspire future study.
