Allowing non-violent felons to seal records 'in the best interest of all of us'

A new proposal in the Ohio House of Representatives would help people like Rayell Wilhite — those convicted of non-violent, non-sexual offenses — start over for good. House Bill 1, co-sponsored by Dayton Republican Rep. Phil Plummer and Toledo Democratic Rep. Paula Hicks-Hudson, would allow people convicted of no more than two qualifying felonies or four misdemeanors to more easily petition for records of those offenses to be sealed.
