Background Checks and Expungements

Post Body

I’ve seen that certain states have laws that after x amount of years most charges are automatically sealed and can’t show up on a background checks to give criminals basically a second chance. My question is, is it only criminal charges that happened in that state? For an example if was convicted in WA but want to move to california and meet the requirements(time frame/type of charge/no arrest since) will my background test come up clean being I live in a clean slate state or does it only apply for that states convictions?
