For legislation to ensure equitable access to cannabis related expungement. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure equitable access to cannabis-related expungement. It amends the existing law to automatically expunge any decriminalized offense related to the possession or cultivation of marijuana, without the need for further action by the petitioner. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Correction and county sheriffs to review the sentencing records of all prisoners held for now-decriminalized marijuana offenses or for probation/parole violations related solely to marijuana possession or use, allowing these prisoners to apply for release if no other basis for their detention exists.
