Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1965 PA 213, entitled "An act to provide for setting aside the conviction in certain criminal cases; to provide for the effect of such action; to provide for the retention of certain nonpublic records and their use; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain public agencies and officers; and to prescribe penalties," by amending section 1 (MCL 780.621), as amended by 2016 PA 336.

AI Summary

This bill amends a 1965 law to allow individuals convicted of certain misdemeanor marijuana-related offenses to apply to have those convictions set aside, starting on January 1, 2020. The bill creates a rebuttable presumption that the convictions were for conduct that would not have been a crime after the legalization of recreational marijuana in Michigan on December 6, 2018. The prosecuting agency has 60 days to rebut this presumption, and if it fails to do so, the court must set aside the conviction. If the agency does rebut the presumption, a hearing is held, and the agency bears the burden of proving the conduct would still be a crime. The bill ties its enactment to the passage of several other related bills.
