Minnesota Cannabis Expungement Board
Government
The Adult-Use Cannabis Act enacted in 2023 eliminates certain cannabis-rel?ated offenses. A key part of this law is how it will impact people with marijuana-related records whose crimes are no longer considered crimes. The process is called expungement – or sealing of records. Sealing records is intended to remove barriers for people with cannabis-related offenses who are subject to a background check for a job or housing. Expunged records are not destroyed, but they are removed from the public view and will not appear on background checks. In addition, the law also allows for resentencing as an option for certain eligible cases.
