Adult Set-Aside (expungement)

General Information:

· Some adult registerable convictions may qualify to be set-aside (expunged).

o 4^th degree (750.520e)

o Should check into the possibility of expunging any registerable offense other than 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd or Assault with attempt to commit CSC (750.520b, 750.520c, 750.520d, and 750.520g). Look at list of registerable offenses under "Registration Responsibilities"  

· An expungement does NOT release an individual from their registration requirements, but we are hoping that will change.

· Can only have ONE conviction on your record.

· An application cannot be filed until 5 years following the imposition (start) of sentencing.

· If the expungement is denied it looks as though you can go back at a later time and try again. There is no time limit imposed.

· To look up a specific MCL (Michigan Compiled Law) number go to the Michigan Legislature website.

· Form: Application to Set Aside Conviction. Page 2 of this document has an instruction sheet.
