(Indianapolis, Ind.) - People convicted of Class D felonies in Indiana could have it show up as a misdemeanor on their record.
State Rep. Jud McMillin (R-Brookville) authored House Bill 1033. The proposal passed the House on an 85-9 vote on January 30 and could be considered by the Senate Committee on Corrections, Criminal, and Civil Matters this week.
If it becomes law, non-sex related Class D felonies could be converted to a Class A misdemeanor after three years.
“They often do that without looking into what the actual felony was, and so if we can remove that barrier for those folks who are trying to get back to work when it’s appropriate, I think it would help those folks get jobs,” McMillin told Indiana Public Media.
McMillin is a defense attorney in Franklin County.
