For Stronger Communities. For Public Safety. For Economic Growth.
CLEAN SLATE IS A WIN FOR RHODE ISLAND
Cuts Red Tape: Clean Slate legislation streamlines the process by reducing bureaucracy and making the system work more efficiently for everyone.
Improves Public Safety: Clean Slate is far from a free pass — it’s about making sure those who have taken responsibility for past mistakes can move forward after doing all that’s been asked of them. Automated processes are rigorously tested, monitored, and supplemented with human oversight. Although sealed records are not publicly available, law enforcement and courts can still access them.
Strengthens Our Economy: Clean Slate laws expand the workforce, helping businesses find the best employees and creating opportunities for workers to earn higher wages. This puts more money in American families' pockets and reduces dependence on government assistance.
Our Mission
To advance Clean Slate policies in Rhode Island that automatically clear eligible criminal records for people who have completed their sentences and remained crime-free, while expanding eligibility to help more Rhode Islanders move forward with greater opportunities for employment, housing, and stability.
