Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands expunction rights for pre-2021 unlawful handgun carry arrests (including deferred adjudication cases), which reduces barriers from such records; this touches firearms/carry as the core offense and firearms/other for the procedural relief. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
