Vagrants, Gaming and Other Offences Act 1931

Criminal Law (Historical Homosexual Convictions Expungement) Bill 2017

This bill creates a scheme for people to apply to have historical convictions or charges for consensual adult homosexual activity wiped from their criminal records. It covers offences from before homosexuality was decriminalised in Queensland on 19 January 1991. Once expunged, a person is treated in law as never having been convicted or charged.
