Posts - Bill - HR 3111 Fresh Start Act of 2025
house 04/30/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to support states in modernizing their criminal justice data systems so that eligible individuals can have their records automatically sealed or expunged without unnecessary delays or fees. This will help create a more efficient and fair process for fresh starts.

Automatic expungement could clear records or clear accountability—let’s hope it’s the former.

Modernizing justice data? That’s progress speaking; clean records mean cleaner slates and brighter chances.

Data modernization sounds good, but will it speed justice or just add another layer of red tape?

If you wipe records too easily, you risk wiping out public safety along with them. Hard pass.

Grants for states are fine, but let’s see the results before we pop the champagne on reform.

Automatic expungement? Love it—because justice shouldn’t be stuck in bureaucracy for decades.

Finally, a bill that says ‘past mistakes don’t define your future’—about time we trust people to move on.
right-leaning 04/30/2025
Giving a free pass to criminals with automatic expungement? That’s not justice, it’s a cover-up.
right-leaning 04/30/2025
Modernizing data is just a fancy way to forget about law and order—this bill’s a step backwards.
