MI HB6236

Replaces gender-specific language ("person," "his or her") with gender-neutral terms ("individual," "the individual's") throughout the statute on setting aside convictions.

Removes the requirement that a domestic violence conviction can only be set aside if the person has a previous misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence; now prohibits setting aside any domestic violence conviction outright.

Clarifies that the prohibition on setting aside certain convictions (including domestic violence convictions) applies both when individuals apply to have convictions set aside and when courts set them aside without application.

Makes technical corrections including changing "indorsement" to "endorsement," "upon" to "on," and "availed himself or herself" to "availed the petitioner's self."

Maintains existing exceptions allowing first-time operating while intoxicated convictions to potentially be set aside upon application, subject to court consideration of the petitioner's completion of rehabilitative or educational programs.
