EXPUNGE Your Record! New Law Allows Many New Yorkers to Wipe their Record Clean
A new law has gone into effect in New York making it possible for hundreds of thousands of marijuana drug convictions to be wiped clean. As reported by the New York Times, “Under the new law, the classification of the penalty for possessing between one and two ounces of marijuana has been lowered to a violation, and fines have been capped at $200. Previously, such possession was a Class B misdemeanor. The fine for possessing less than one ounce of marijuana has been lowered to $50, from $150.”
What does this mean if you have already been convicted of a marijuana charge? For several thousands, the records will be automatically sealed and the charges expunged, but for the vast majority, you will need to take steps to have your record wiped clean. People should consult with an attorney to see if expungement is an option.
