Under Missouri’s existing expungement laws, tens of thousands of people are eligible to have their records expunged, yet research shows that only about 1% are actually successful in obtaining expungement. This is due to a costly, burdensome petition-based process that prevents the vast majority of eligible individuals from ever obtaining relief and moving forward with their lives. Everyone who qualifies for expungement should get the clean slate they’ve earned—regardless of whether they can afford a lawyer and expensive court fees or have the knowledge to navigate a complex court process.
