INDIANAPOLIS – Thousands of criminal convictions could disappear under a bill given final approval by the Indiana House Monday.
House Bill 1482 passed 78-19 and now goes to Gov. Mike Pence, who has not indicated his position on the legislation.
"Making a mistake doesn't mean that you're necessarily a bad person. Making a mistake means you are a human being," said Rep. Jud McMillin, R-Brookville, author of the bill.
"They shouldn't have to live with it forever."
