One past mistake shouldn’t dictate the direction of your future. House Bills 4219 and 4220 will grant deserving Michiganders a second chance at a clean criminal record by allowing certain first-time drunk driving convictions to be expunged five years after an individual’s probation ends.
A person’s character can endure an exponential amount of growth in the span of five years, especially when they’ve spent a significant amount of time and money paying the consequences of their actions. An evolved individual shouldn’t be forced to wear a scarlet letter for the rest of their life, and Michigan’s new law surely delivers relief to rehabilitated citizens looking to contribute to society without fearing the perpetual burden of a drunk driving conviction.
Under the new law, Michiganders charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substances, including those charged as minors, will be able to seek expungement as long as the offense did not result in serious injury or death.
If a previous conviction is placing a limit on housing and employment opportunities, our record-clearing experts at Easy Expunctions can give you the tools you need to take off the scarlet letter and pursue the life you deserve.
