HB 246- Prohibits the Release of Marijuana Conviction, 2022

When introducing legislation to keep the records of individuals who have been convicted of minor marijuana crimes confidential Senator Begich said, "These convictions have made it difficult for hundreds, if not thousands of people to obtain good jobs and housing...Now that the voters legalized marijuana, it is only fair that these records be kept confidential so those convicted can move forward with their lives."
