LANSING – Misdemeanors involving low-level marijuana use and possession would be automatically cleared from Michiganders' records under a bill that will be introduced this week by Sen. Jeff Irwin, D-Ann Arbor.
The bill would allow roughly 235,000 people to have their misdemeanor records for marijuana use and possession automatically expunged without having to go through the courts.
"We would go in through the Michigan State Police's database and make changes to records electronically and administratively without having to go through all the time and expense of going through the courts," Irwin said.
