As Missouri looks to legalize recreational marijuana, expungement gets renewed attention
The push to legalize recreational marijuana use in Missouri is coming from multiple directions, with a handful of proposed initiative petitions and at least one bill, and potentially more, backed by Republican lawmakers.
Each hopes to place the issue on the 2022 ballot for voter approval.
And each proposal also includes a provision that, while often overlooked in the marijuana debate, is considered a transformative piece of the legalization puzzle — the expungement of nonviolent marijuana offenses from criminal records.
The proposals differ on how they handle expungement.
