Criminal procedure: expunction; procedures and eligibility for the expungement of certain records; provide for. Amends secs. 1b, 1c, 1d, 2 & 3 of 1965 PA 213 (MCL 780.621b et seq.); adds sec. 1j & repeals sec. 4 of 1965 PA 213 (MCL 780.624).

This bill updates Michigan's laws regarding the expungement of criminal records by clarifying how multiple offenses committed within a short timeframe are counted for eligibility. It allows people to petition to set aside convictions for several crimes that happened at the same time, provided none of those crimes involve assault, dangerous weapons, or carry a maximum penalty of ten years or more. The legislation also adjusts the waiting periods required before applying for expungement, requiring seven years for multiple felonies, five years for serious misdemeanors or first-time drunk driving offenses, and three years for other misdemeanors. Additionally, the bill adds specific rules for first-time operating while intoxicated convictions, permitting expungement only if the person has not previously applied for one and has completed any court-ordered rehabilitation programs.
