Unlike 37 other states which now allow some process for felony sealing, Pennsylvania’s current legislation is limited to misdemeanors.

That means people, including those who have struggled with addiction, often continue to be burdened by decades-old convictions. HB 689 would expand Pennsylvania’s existing automatic record sealing, bringing the Commonwealth in line with the best practices of states across the country.

Expanding Clean Slate would have a huge impact on both businesses and workers.

Employing people with criminal records has significant, positive impacts on both the economy and society as a whole. At Indeed, we believe an equitable hiring and talent management process requires better opportunities for job seekers with criminal records. We are proud to support expanded Clean Slate legislation in Pennsylvania.Abbey Carlton is Vice President of Social Impact at Indeed.
