Update: Members of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee passed SB 949 on March 9.
House and Senate legislation is pending to allow those with past criminal marijuana convictions to have those records expunged.
House Bill 379 / Senate Bill 949 permit those who received a criminal marijuana possession conviction prior to October 1, 2014, to seek expungement of their records.
Maryland law was amended on that date so that the possession of up to ten rams of cannabis is no longer a criminal offense.
Please use the pre-written letter below to urge your lawmakers to support this common sense legislation.
Further information regarding pending marijuana law reform legislation is available from Maryland NORML.
