Beta

This bill would remove criminal penalties for Kentuckians who possess, grow, or transfer up to eight ounces or five plants of marijuana. It would also create a process to expunge, or clear, certain past marijuana convictions from people's records, and some of those changes would apply retroactively to prior cases. Who it may affect: people with existing marijuana-related convictions, and Kentuckians who currently face or could face charges for small amounts of marijuana.
