An Act ensuring equitable access to cannabis related expungement

This bill ensures that people in Massachusetts can quickly and easily have their records cleared for marijuana offenses that are no longer crimes. It automatically removes these convictions from court records without requiring a hearing or further action from the person requesting the expungement, while also allowing courts to clear related charges like distribution that happened during the same incident. Additionally, the law requires prison officials to check if anyone is being held solely for marijuana violations or for failing drug tests related to such violations, and it mandates that these individuals be released immediately if no other reason exists for their detention.
