Criminal procedure: expunction; availability of nonpublic records of the order setting aside a conviction; modify. Amends sec. 3 of 1965 PA 213 (MCL 780.623).
SB 1174 modifies Michigan's existing laws regarding the handling of records when a person's criminal conviction is officially set aside. The bill requires the Department of State Police to keep a private record of these expungement orders and the original arrest details, limiting access to this information for specific government purposes such as future sentencing, law enforcement investigations, and background checks for certain jobs. While the record remains confidential from the general public, the individual whose conviction was set aside has the right to request a copy of it by paying a standard administrative fee. Additionally, the legislation strengthens penalties for unauthorized individuals who share or publish information about these expunged convictions.
