1. A. By November 1, 2026, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation shall establish and maintain a publicly accessible online portal for individuals to submit an expedited expungement request for clean slate eligible records as defined in Section 2 of this act, or records eligible under paragraph 16 of Section 18 of Title 22.
2. B. An expedited expungement request submitted through the portal shall only require the individual to provide sufficient personal identification information to allow the Bureau to locate the relevant criminal history record and contact information, including an electronic mail address or phone number, for notification purposes.

3. C. The following steps shall be used to review and approve or deny expedited expungement requests:

   1. 1. Upon receipt of an expedited expungement request, the Bureau shall review the associated criminal history record to determine if it meets the criteria for an expedited expungement request pursuant to this subsection;
   2. 2. If the record is determined to be eligible based on a review of Bureau records, the Bureau shall solicit a review by the appropriate arresting and prosecuting agencies;
   3. 3. Upon confirmation of eligibility based upon the review of both arresting and prosecuting agency records, the Bureau shall send a request to the appropriate district court for consideration;
   4. 4. If expungement is approved by the court, the court shall provide an order for expungement to the Bureau and any other record-holding agency;
   5. 5. If the record is determined not to be eligible by any party, the Bureau shall provide a written or electronic notice of rejection to the individual, clearly stating the reason or reasons for rejection; and
   6. 6. Upon sealing a record pursuant to this subsection, the Bureau shall notify the individual, via the contact information provided in the request, that the record has been sealed by the Bureau and the courts.
4. D. On or before November 1, 2027, the Bureau shall begin implementing the automatic process to identify and submit clean slate eligible records for sealing without receiving a request. All electronic records that are eligible for expungement through the automated clean slate process on or after November 1, 2027, shall be identified and expunged through the automated clean slate process before November 1, 2029, in accordance with a schedule to be determined by the Bureau. Beginning in 2027, the Bureau shall publish and electronically submit to the Legislature an annual report that contains statistical data of the number of records that were identified and sealed pursuant to the expedited and automatic processes.

5. E. The automated process described in subsection D of this section shall be as follows:

   1. 1. On a monthly basis, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation shall identify records that are clean slate eligible by conducting a search of the criminal history repository records of the Bureau;
   2. 2. If the record is determined to be eligible pursuant to Section 2 of this act based on a review of Bureau records, the Bureau shall provide notice to be reviewed by the appropriate arresting and prosecuting agencies;

   3. 3. The prosecuting agency, arresting agency, and the Bureau may, no later than forty-five (45) days from the date on which the notice described in paragraph 2 of this subsection is transmitted, object to an automatic expungement. Such objection shall be submitted in writing and transmitted to all parties. An objection may be made for any of the following reasons:

      1. a. after reviewing the agency record, the agency believes the arrest record does not meet the definition of a clean slate eligible arrest record,
      2. b. the individual has not paid court-ordered restitution to the victim, or
      3. c. the agency has a reasonable belief, grounded in supporting facts, that an individual with a clean slate eligible arrest record is continuing to engage in criminal activity, whether charged or not charged, within or outside the state;
   4. 4. If an agency objects in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 3 of this subsection, the record shall not be expunged;
   5. 5. If an agency does not object in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 3 of this subsection, the objection shall be waived, and the Bureau shall provide to the courts a list of all cases where responses from all parties were received and no parties objected. The court shall review such list, produce a signed expungement order for all cases approved, and notify the Bureau. The Bureau shall notify all agencies that have criminal history records. Upon receipt of this notification, each agency shall promptly seal the relevant records;
   6. 6. If an agency objects in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 3 of this subsection, the Bureau shall provide to the court a list of all cases with objections. The court may, in its discretion, set the matter for hearing to consider any argument from the objecting party as to why the applicable record does not qualify for automatic expungement. The hearing shall be closed at the request of the objecting party if there exists a reason to believe the basis of the objection may impede or frustrate any ongoing investigation. The court shall provide notice to the objecting party of any hearing set in accordance with this section at least thirty (30) days prior to the hearing. If the court finds that there were insufficient grounds for the objection, the court may order the applicable record expunged and provide notice to the affected agencies to seal such records. The process for appeal of any expungement order issued pursuant to this subsection shall be the same as the process provided for in subsection D of Section 19 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes; and
   7. 7. The Bureau and the Supreme Court may promulgate rules to govern the process for expungement of clean slate eligible records in accordance with this subsection.
6. F. For purposes of this section, if expungement is approved, the court shall provide an order for expungement to the Bureau and any other record-holding agency. The court shall assign each order a unique identification number for filing purposes. Orders pursuant to this section shall begin with the prefix ‘AE’, identifying the order with an automated or expedited expungement, followed by the applicable year notification is received. Such record shall not be a public record but shall be utilized for administrative purposes. The courts shall transmit an electronic notification of any order for expunged records to the Bureau or otherwise make such orders available by secure electronic means. Upon receipt of a signed expungement order, each agency shall seal the relevant records.
7. G. Nothing in this section precludes an individual from filing a petition with the district court pursuant to Section 19 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes for expungement of clean slate eligible records.
8. H. An individual shall not have a cause of action for damages if the Bureau fails to identify an arrest record as eligible for expungement pursuant to this section.
9. I. An expungement granted under this section does not preclude an individual from requesting the unsealing of records in accordance with subsection M of Section 19 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

10. J.

    1. 1. Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the physical destruction of any criminal justice records.
    2. 2. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the introduction of evidence regarding actions sealed pursuant to the provisions of this section at any hearing or trial.
11. K. The provisions and rights contained in subsections E, F, and G of Section 18 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes shall apply to records expunged pursuant to this section.
