States have vastly different criminal justice databases. But all states can automate record clearing. It's just that their paths to that goal may be different. Learn about how Clean Slate has been mapped in both states with and without centralized computer systems. Learn whether your state’s computer system needs to be upgraded before you can plan to automate record clearing.

Noella Sudbury will describe how Clean Slate was designed and how implementation has been going in Utah, a centralized state. Michael Cowden and and Shayna Cummings of Code for America will explain “mapping” of both eligibility determinations and record clearing in technologically more complex state settings.
