This means that, after a certain period, a criminal record will automatically expire, meaning it will no longer reflect negatively on a person's character. It also requires these records to be kept separate from other criminal records and removes certain legal disqualifications or obligations stemming from the conviction. The bill also makes consequential changes to other related laws.
