Expungement of Herriman Criminal Records
Utah's Clean Slate law, passed as HB 431, created an automatic expungement process for qualifying low-level criminal records. Eligible misdemeanor convictions are cleared after a waiting period if no new convictions occur during that time. Class B misdemeanors require a 6-year wait. Class C misdemeanors and infractions require 5 years. Dismissals with prejudice can be cleared after 180 days, and acquittals after 60 days. More information is available at cleanslateutah.org.
Records that do not qualify for automatic expungement can be cleared through a petition filed with the court where the Herriman case was originally decided. The BCI must issue a certificate of eligibility before you can file the petition. Visit bci.utah.gov/expungements to check eligibility and start the petition process. Once expungement is granted, the Herriman criminal court records from that case are sealed and no longer appear in public searches.
Note: Registrable sex offenses, domestic violence convictions, DUIs, and weapons offenses are excluded from automatic expungement under Clean Slate.
