Mathew Higbee Testifies About Expungement Laws to California State Senates Committee On Public Safety


Mathew Higbee, owner of The Law Firm of Higbee & Associates, was the lead witness in support of Senator Roderick Wright’s bill to expand the benefits of California’s expungement law.  The bill, SB 530, is expected to be approved by the committee.  Higbee explained to the committee that, despite California’s many innovative programs designed to help former offenders, California’s expungement law still leaves many former offenders set-up to fail.   The current version of SB 530 expands the eligibility for certificate of rehabilitation and codifies a regulation that prohibits employers from discriminating against people with an expunged conviction.    Higbee says that the bill will likely be amended to provide bigger benefits to more people.
