Additionally, this act provides certain time limitations for when records shall be closed and limitations on the amount of offenses which may be expunged, as provided in this act. This act also provides that beginning August 28, 2028, the Office of State Courts Administrator (OSCA) shall identify and transfer on a monthly basis all clean slate eligible offenses records to the Central Repository and every prosecuting agency in the state within 30 days of the offenses becoming eligible for expungement. All records currently eligible for automated expungement shall be expunged by August 28, 2030.
