A record should not be a life sentence to poverty.
Everyone should have an opportunity to work, have a safe home, take care of their families, and contribute to their community.
Over 1.9 million Missourians from all walks of life face barriers to jobs, education, housing and other basic necessities because they have an arrest or conviction on their record. These challenges impact every part of a person's life. When our loved ones, friends, neighbors and community members are barred from fully participating in society and our economy, we all lose out.
What are we doing?
Tens of thousands of Missourians are eligible for expungement. The petition-based process is expensive and burdensome, and only about 1% are actually successful in obtaining that expungement. Clean Slate legislation aims to close that gap. With the passage of SB 1421 in 2026, drug offenses will be eligible for automatic expungement. Today, we celebrate this progress and the impact it will have across our state. Tomorrow, we continue the work to expand access to record sealing for more Missourians.
