AI Summary

This bill amends Kentucky's laws related to marijuana. It removes penalties for possession, cultivation, or trafficking of up to 8 ounces or 5 plants of marijuana. The bill also creates a new section to allow for the expungement of certain convictions related to cannabis, including convictions prior to July 1992 for possession, cultivation, or trafficking of marijuana punishable by up to 5 years' incarceration, as long as the offense involved a personal use quantity of 8 ounces or less or 5 plants or fewer. The bill establishes a process for identifying eligible convictions, allowing the prosecutor to object to expungement, and requiring the court to order expungement of eligible convictions if no objection is filed or if the court finds the conviction is eligible.
