Seal and Heal: An Update on Vermont’s New Expungement and Sealing Laws
March 16 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Effective July 1, 2025, Act 60 updated Vermont laws pertaining to expunging and sealing past convictions in Vermont Courts. This law shifts the focus from expungement, which fully erases any state-maintained record of the conviction, to sealing, which removes the conviction from public record, but maintains a non-public record for use in future prosecutions, if necessary. This change poses both advantages and disadvantages for Vermonters with criminal records seeking a fresh start.
Join VLGS’s Veterans Legal Assistance Project for this educational webinar discussing the processes and procedures for seeking expungement and sealing of Vermont convictions, with a special focus on Act 60 and the changes it has caused to the legal landscape.
