I haven't seen one yet. It is an interesting petition. There is obviously a good argument that can be made that expungements are a matter of statewide concern, but I wonder. The State has granted the power to municipalities to keep and maintain its records at 11 O.S. § 22-123.1. The State has also granted power to all municipalities to raise revenue. The State imposes a fee for the OSBI to remove documents that are expunged. It is interesting that the fee is found in Title 74, which strictly applies to State government and is not in the section governing criminal procedure. In the absence of any expungement fees under Title 11 and no specific reference to fees under Title 22, is the imposition of a fee to scour, protect, and remove documents from the public record necessarily and fairly implied by the Legislature's grant of power to the municipalities to keep and maintain records and generate revenue? Just brainstorming.
