First time offenses of Michigan's drunken driving law are now eligible for expungement under legislation signed Monday by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The bills signed by the governor would allow individuals convicted of a first-time drunk driving offense to petition a court to set aside the conviction several years after sentencing. An estimated 200,000 non-repeat offenders are expected to be eligible for the program. A judge asked for an expungement can consider whether the individual has "availed himself or herself of rehabilitative or educational programming," according to the legislation. “No one should be defined by a mistake they have made in the past,” Whitmer said in a Tuesday statement. “These bills allow Michiganders to move on from a past mistake in order to have a clean slate. The legislation, which goes into effect in six months, does not allow for the expungement of offenses that resulted in serious injury or death. The bills were sponsored by Rep. Joe Bellino, R-Monroe, and Rep. Tenisha Yancey, D-Harper Woods. Under the bills signed by Whitmer, petitioners would have to wait three years after their offense to ask a judge for an expungement. A bill pending in the Senate would expand that period to five years. The Republican-controlled Legislature passed similar legislation last session, but it was vetoed by Whitmer, a Democrat. “Drunk driving is a serious problem in Michigan, but permanently limiting a person’s ability to work and drive based on a one-time, decades-old mistake does not make sense," said John S. Cooper, executive director for Safe & Just Michigan. "People who can show that their DUI conviction was a one-time mistake should have an opportunity to make a fresh start.” Sue Strong, program coordinator for Mothers Against Drunk Driving — Michigan, said the organization remains opposed to the legislation. In many cases, a person arrested on a first-time offense has driven while drunk on multiple occasions before, she said. "They just got caught this time," Strong said. MADD representatives met with Whitmer's office twice at the beginning of the year to discuss the bills and suggested requiring individuals seeking expungement to use an ignition interlock device for six months to prove they were driving sober, Strong said. The proposal was never adopted.

Prior to the law changing, someone convicted of drunk driving had to live the rest of their life with a criminal record. Under current Michigan law, we can now expunge a first offense drunk driving. If someone has more than one drunk driving, there are other methods to be considered, and I would encourage you to reach out to discuss, but for now, we are going to focus on first offense DUI's for expungement consideration. Here is how the process works: When someone files an expungement in Michigan, there are a lot of different agencies involved, and everyone needs to agree to expunge the DUI conviction. 1. Michigan State Police - they are the custodian of the Michigan DUI conviction and must verify your record. 2. Michigan Attorney General is asked to submit a response to the expungement request, and they can fight and advocate for your DUI not to be expunged. 3. The original prosecutor on the case. Either the county, city, township, or village; whoever was the original prosecutor on your Michigan DUI will have an opportunity to object to your request and will appear in court to share their response with the judge. 4. The original judge makes the ultimate decision based upon the input of the other people involved in your case. We will submit a comprehensive expungement application and supporting documents; above and beyond a few sheets of paper, which will likely be rejected by prosecutor and judge. This is a big request; removing a DUI from a criminal record has NEVER been done in Michigan under the expungement process. We need to take our very best shot. You've lived all these years with a drunk driving on your record, let's do this right! When the new law was passed, the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan, the Michigan Sheriffs' Association and the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police opposed the bill. Here is what they said when the new law was passed “Prosecutors are concerned about the underlying dynamics of drunk driving and therefore couldn’t philosophically support the policy," Matt Wiese, president of the prosecutors association, said in a statement. I anticipate that it will be an uphill battle to have DUI's expunged in Michigan, which is why I have created a dynamic approach to helping my clients give themselves the very best chance to erase the DUI from their record. Like my clients who come to me for new DUI's, my expungement DUI clients will be very proactive, organized and comprehensive in their approach. I look forward to discussing your DUI expungement with you. When you reach out, please have the following information available. Do not worry about formal records, we can help you track those down, but do your best to know the following: 1. The original court and judge 2. The year (exact date best) of when you were sentenced and were off probation. Again, I can help you with exact dates, but any information there will be helpful I will likely have you walk me through what you've been doing since discharged from probation, such as career, education, family and community. We will help you get organized and put your best foot forward but be prepared to be an active participate in the process.
