Michiganders convicted of a single drunk driving offense may be offered a second chance under a piece of legislation recently passed by the Michigan House. If the governor approves the bill, an individual’s first-time drunk driving offense may qualify for expungement five years after their sentence and/or probation has been completed. It’s noteworthy that this only applies if the crime did not result in serious bodily harm or death of another person.
A criminal history places significant barriers on job and housing opportunities, even if the convicted individual demonstrates rehabilitated behavior. Michigan’s new law symbolizes hope for Michigan citizens suffering from a one-time drunk driving conviction that occurred five to ten to twenty years ago. An exponential amount of growth and maturity occurs in the span of five years, and it’s unreasonable to prevent a person from pursuing their life of choice because of a minor mistake they made before evolving into their true self. If the governor approves the bill, the state of Michigan will offer its citizens a virtue long overdue—forgiveness.
