AI Summary
This bill amends Oklahoma's existing law on expungements to provide for the automatic sealing of criminal records in certain "clean slate eligible" cases, defined as cases involving acquittals, reversed convictions, DNA evidence of innocence, pardons, dismissed charges, or successful completion of deferred judgments or sentences. The bill establishes a process where the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation will identify eligible cases monthly, notify relevant agencies, and then have the court issue expungement orders for cases where no objections are raised. The bill also allows individuals to still file petitions for expungement of eligible records if automatic expungement has not occurred, and prohibits any cause of action for the failure to identify eligible cases. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2022.
