Prior to April 11, 2023, individuals seeking an expungement of past convictions have had
to petition the courts to have those offenses expunged. This will change when the
second phase of Michigan’s Clean Slate Act goes into effect on April 11, 2023, this new
process will allow for convictions to be expunged through an automated system. This
system will be established and run by the State of Michigan, in conjunction with the
existing network of courts around the State.
