Expungement of records; providing automatic expungement for certain misdemeanor convictions. Effective date.

SB 2034 automatically seals criminal records for Oklahomans convicted of specific nonviolent misdemeanors after meeting waiting periods. It applies to cases like misdemeanor convictions with fines under $501 (after payment) or dismissed charges following successful completion of deferred sentences. Eligible individuals no longer need to file court petitions; their records are sealed automatically 5-10 years after conviction or dismissal, depending on the offense. This applies only to nonviolent offenses and excludes cases with pending charges or violent crimes.
