Mich Legislature Considers New Juvenile Expungment Bill

10-10-2012 Michigan:

The Michigan House has before it House Bill 5600 which will liberalize the standards for granting expungments for juveniles. The Bill will expand the number of adjudications they an have and remove some of the statutory prohibitions on expungment.

This a great thing. As we learn more about the juvenile brain, it is clear that they are not mini-adults and are capable of change. As colleges and other institutions have started background checking applicants, our old path was forcing juveniles down the wrong path and towards a “cliff.” HB5400 goes a long way to fixing this problem. ..Source.. by Stuart G.
