The bill also requires the review of sentencing for prisoners incarcerated solely for such repealed marijuana offenses, allowing them to apply for early release. Additionally, the bill directs the governor to compile a list of individuals convicted of these repealed offenses within the past 5 years and notify them of their right to apply for a pardon.
