New for 2016 is the process and petition form used to pursue an expungement for a previous charge and arrest. The old forms required a separate petition for each arrest and case. Now, one form can be used for multiple expungement cases. This not only saves much time preparing the petitions, it also saves quite a bit of money for the person seeking the expungement. For example, if a person wanted to expunge three prior arrests he would previously have had to pay the full filing fees in the amount of $126.00 per case or a total of $378.00. Under the new law that same person seeking the same relief would save $80.00 or $298.00. The more cases a person seeks expungement on the more money that person will save under the new petition.
