Oklahoma Statute Offers Fresh Start As you saw in our November newsletter, thousands of Oklahomans now have the chance for a fresh start. As of Nov. 1, 2018, a change in the law to Expungement of Criminal Records went into effect, easing the restrictions on clearing nonviolent felonies from one’s record. For so many people with nonviolent felonies in their past who have gotten their lives back on track, this is incredible news. WHAT’S CHANGED Previously in Oklahoma, you needed to obtain a full pardon from the governor to expunge your felony record. This is something not easily achieved. You also were required to have no other felony convictions in your history and no misdemeanors in the past 15 years. On top of all of this, 10 years had to elapse from the moment you completed your sentence before you could even begin the process of seeking expungement. Now you do not need a full pardon to clear your nonviolent felony conviction. You still cannot have any other felony convictions, but the grace period for misdemeanors has moved down to seven years . Best of all, you can seek expungement a mere five years after completing your sentence. Former ineligible expungement candidates are now afforded the chance to get their lives back on track.
