Effective 1/1/2025, an online search of Kent, Michigan's Circuit Court criminal records will only yield cases from 2019 to present. Prior to this, case records dated back to 1996. The reason for this change is due to the Public Act 193 of 2020, Michigan's Clean Slate law. At this time, the court is reviewing their records to ensure they comply with this law. The review is expected to be temporary, lasting anywhere from several weeks to months. In the interim, the court staff are conducting searches for extended years as requested.
