Allow marijuana convictions to be set aside if legalization approved

Introduced in the House

June 12, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Sheldon Neeley (D-34)

To permit an individual to get marijuana-related convictions “set aside” (or expunged) from their record, but only if the <a href=" https://www.michiganvotes.org/2018-LIP-1">marijuana legalization initiative</a> on the Nov. 2018 state ballot is approved. The bill appears to include trafficking offenses in addition to possession. (Specifically, it covers any convictions under <a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(iqkknm2sepw0gunldleqciv3))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-368-1978-7-74">sections 333.7401 to 333.7461</a> of the Public Health Code).

Referred to the Committee on Law and Justice
