MI HB5838

Expands eligibility for setting aside juvenile adjudications to include offenses committed as a direct result of being a victim of human trafficking, allowing mandatory expungement regardless of the offense type.

Changes language throughout the statute from "person" to "individual" and updates procedural language (e.g., "shall" to "must") for clarity and consistency.

Establishes a 35-day deadline for the attorney general or prosecuting attorney to contest an application to set aside an adjudication.

Requires traffic offense convictions set aside under this section to remain on the applicant's driving record maintained by the secretary of state under the Michigan vehicle code.

Takes effect 90 days after enactment.
