Bill Summary
An Act relating to expungement of records; amending 22 O.S. 2021, Section 18, as last amended by Section 12, Chapter 452, O.S.L. 2024 (22 O.S. Supp 2025, Section 18), which relates to persons authorized for expungement of records; providing automatic expungements for certain misdemeanor convictions; authorizing persons to file a petition for automatic expungement; allowing certain agencies and interested persons to seek an order unsealing records; directing the Supreme Court to promulgate rules as necessary; updating statutory language; updating statutory reference; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill, effective November 1, 2026, introduces automatic expungement for certain nonviolent misdemeanor convictions, meaning criminal arrest records for these offenses will be sealed from public view after ten years, provided all fines, fees, and restitution have been paid, no felony convictions exist, and no new charges are pending. While expungement seals records, this bill allows law enforcement and other agencies to still access them for official purposes, and individuals can still petition for expungement if an automatic one hasn't occurred. The bill also directs the Supreme Court to create necessary rules for implementing these automatic expungements and updates existing statutory language related to expungement procedures.
