New Michigan Clean-Slate Laws to Take Effect in April 2021

 1/14/2021 

       The State of Michigan has passed a new law that expands the number of convictions that can be set aside.  Prior to the Clean Slate law, an individual could only move to set aside one felony conviction or two misdemeanor convictions.  Effective April 11, 2021, an individual will now be able to move to set aside up to three eligible felony convictions, as well as an unlimited number of eligible misdemeanor convictions.  Prior to the Clean Slate legislation, the waiting period was five years for filing an application. The waiting periods will now be: • Seven (7) or more years, if moving to set aside more than one felony conviction  • Five (5) or more years, if moving to set aside one felony conviction or one or more serious misdemeanor convictions  • Three (3) or more years, if moving to set aside one or more non-serious misdemeanors.   The time runs from the latest of the following dates: (1) imposition of sentence; (2) completion of imprisonment; (3) completion of probation; or (4) discharge from parole. 
      There is also a new “same transaction rule”, in that contemporaneous criminal offenses that arise out of the same transaction and occur within 24 hours, will generally be treated as one conviction. Furthermore, beginning April 11, 2023, Michigan will even have an automatic system for setting aside certain misdemeanor and low-level felony convictions. 
      Eligible individuals should understand that a set aside is not an exoneration. The applicant is still considered “convicted” for purposes of Michigan’s Sex Offender Registration Act; the conviction may be used for charging a new crime as a second or subsequent offense (i.e., for offenses that are based on prior convictions) or for sentencing habitual offenders under MCL 769.10 et seq; and the conviction will be part of a nonpublic record that is available to the governor, law enforcement, prosecutors and court for a variety of purposes.
