Certain criminal court records in Carbon County may be eligible for expungement. Utah's Clean Slate Utah program, created by HB 431 in March 2019 and active since February 10, 2022, automatically expunges qualifying records without requiring a court petition. Class A misdemeanor drug possession, most Class B and C misdemeanors, and infractions are potentially eligible after crime-free waiting periods. Waiting periods are five years for Class C misdemeanors and infractions, six years for Class B misdemeanors, and seven years for Class A drug misdemeanors from the date of conviction or release.
Felony convictions and certain other serious offenses do not qualify for automatic expungement. The petition-based process is available for some felonies and offenses not covered by Clean Slate. The BCI expungement page provides forms and eligibility guidelines. Carbon County residents file petitions with the Seventh District Court in Price. After expungement, the record is removed from XChange and BCI public searches. Contact the court clerk at (435) 636-3251 if you have questions about a specific Carbon County case.
