The H.R. 2065: Second Chance for Ex-Offenders Act of 2011 tried to expunge the record of any felon who a) hadn’t been convicted of a violent crime, b) served a full sentence and completed all court-ordered requirements, c) had been free of alcohol or drug dependency for at least a year, d) received a high school diploma or its equivalent, and e) completed a year of community service. However it did not pass.
