The new Indiana Expungement Law is (as of March 26, 2014) in effect. The Indiana Supreme Court has published instructions and forms.
The first step in the process is to obtain a complete criminal history. For persons in Marion County, this may be obtained at the City County Building in Citizen’s Services which is located in the east wing (police side nearest Alabama Street) of the City County Building on the first floor.
For people looking to get a fresh start and open a new chapter of their lives with a clean slate, this is a positive development in Indiana Law. Hats off to the Indiana Legislature and Gov. Mike Pence for making this happen.
The Indiana Court of Appeals recently ruled expungement is mandatory in cases involving certain misdemeanors and low-level felonies. Read the Court’s April 24, 2014 opinion here!
