Massachusetts H2019 aims to ensure equitable access to cannabis-related expungement.
Massachusetts H2019 amends existing laws to streamline the process of expunging cannabis-related offenses from criminal records. The bill allows individuals convicted of marijuana possession or cultivation to petition for expungement without the need for a hearing, provided the offense is no longer criminal under state law. It also mandates that the commissioner of the department of correction and county sheriffs review the records of all prisoners to identify those held solely for marijuana offenses that are now decriminalized.
