缅因州辩论会自动封存非暴力记录,引起对安全和准入的担忧。 Maine debates automatic sealing of non-violent records, sparking safety and access concerns.

缅因州立法者们正在就1911年LDD进行辩论,这是一项在规定期限后自动封存非暴力犯罪记录的法案,旨在帮助重返家园并减少累犯。 Maine lawmakers are debating LD 1911, a bill to automatically seal non-violent criminal records after set periods, aiming to aid reentry and reduce recidivism. 虽然支持者强调公平和康复,但包括缅因州新闻协会和国家机构在内的批评者警告自动封印可能会限制公众查阅法院记录,削弱监督,阻碍背景调查。 While supporters highlight fairness and rehabilitation, critics including the Maine Press Association and state agencies warn automatic sealing could limit public access to court records, weaken oversight, and hinder background checks. 反对者认为,现行的基于申请的系统在2023年未充分利用不足15份文件,应加以改进,而不是更换。 Opponents argue the current application-based system, underused with fewer than 15 filings in 2023, should be improved instead of replaced. 一项相关法案(LD 1941)寻求恢复假释,争取对其恢复性司法目标的支持,但也引发关于公共安全和执行的辩论。 A related bill, LD 1941, seeks to reinstate parole, drawing support for its restorative justice goals but also sparking debate over public safety and implementation.
