Bill > H1819

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to automatically expunge certain past marijuana convictions, including for the possession, cultivation, intent to distribute, and distribution of marijuana amounts that have been decriminalized over the years. The bill includes a process for individuals to petition the court to expunge their records if the court failed to do so, and requires the court to provide the individual with a copy of the expungement order and related documents. The bill also amends a related section of the law to include the new expungement provision. Additionally, the bill requires the court to order the expungement of the eligible records within 180 days of the bill's effective date.
