Indiana recently passed a new law eliminating confusion in the courts and establishing that the waiting period to obtain an expungement begins on the date a felony conviction is entered and does not start anew if that conviction is later reduced to a misdemeanor.
Some courts were imposing a new waiting period for convictions that were later modified. Senate Enrolled Act 47 clarifies that the waiting period does not start over on the modification date.
