A-Check Global has been keeping a close eye on recent Michigan legislation that proposed removing the date of birth (DOB) and other certain identifiers—Social Security and Driver’s License Numbers, for example—from court records. Initially, Michigan was moving forward with a July 1, 2021 effective date for this rule. However, today the Michigan Supreme Court issued an order that delays implementation of this rule, and the implementation date has been changed from July 1, 2021 until January 1, 2022.

How would PII redaction impact A-Check criminal record searches in Michigan?

A-Check has not changed our standard processes for criminal record searches. Prior to presenting permissible results to our clients, we still require 3 identifiers to authenticate the identity of search information. If and when Michigan implements a redaction rule, A-Check will continue to serve our clients to the best of our ability.
