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.
