An Act relative to the expungement of convictions for marijuana possession

This bill allows individuals in Massachusetts to immediately clear their criminal records for past marijuana possession charges. It directly affects people who were previously convicted of holding marijuana, a crime that has since been decriminalized and legalized. The law mandates that these specific records be removed from the state's probation office files without requiring the person to apply for relief. By repealing an older section and amending the state's expungement statute, the legislation ensures automatic relief for those whose convictions stem solely from marijuana possession.
