Webb on Expunging Criminal Records

KET

State Senator Robin Webb is expressing support for legislation that would allow for expunging criminal records for Kentuckians who’ve paid their debt to society. The Carter County Democrat spoke after hearing from an Indiana legislator who championed such a bill for residents of the Hoosier State.

Webb says she gets calls from constituents who are denied employment and other things because they were once convicted of a crime…

Webb says she has to tell them there’s nothing she can do to help because current Kentucky law does not allow for expunging criminal records.
