Answer:
You may be referring to the bill introduced in Congress called Second Chance for Ex-Offenders Act, which was not passed. There is no federal expungement statute, except in limited circumstances of minor drug possession cases for first offenders under 21 years old. A presidential pardon or executive clemency can restore rights, such as voting, but does not erase records.
