AI Summary
This bill provides a public records exemption for certain expunged criminal history records related to qualifying cannabis offenses. The exemption would make these records confidential and exempt from public disclosure, except for limited purposes such as licensing, employment, and criminal justice agency use. The bill also includes criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure of the expunged records and a provision for legislative review and potential repeal of the exemption in the future. The Legislature finds this exemption necessary to reduce the disproportionate harm that criminalizing small amounts of cannabis has had on minorities and disadvantaged communities, and to allow individuals with these low-level, nonviolent records to seek gainful employment and become productive members of society.
