MI HB4839

Changes the language in Section 3 from "pursuant to" to "under" when referring to court orders setting aside convictions.

Requires courts to send copies of conviction set-aside orders to the arresting agency and Michigan Department of State Police.

Designates records of set-aside convictions as nonpublic and limits access to courts, judicial agencies, law enforcement, prosecutors, the Attorney General, and the Governor for specific purposes including licensing, sentencing considerations, pardon applications, and sex offender registration enforcement.

Allows individuals whose convictions are set aside to obtain a copy of the nonpublic record from the Department of State Police upon payment of a fee consistent with the Freedom of Information Act.

Adds "victim" as an exception to criminal penalties (up to 90 days imprisonment or $500 fine) for persons who knowingly divulge information about convictions set aside under the act, and defines "victim" as any individual suffering direct or threatened harm from the offense.
