On Friday, the Vermont House of Representatives passed a bill that aims to automatically expunge all criminal records for past low level cannabis possession violations, reports NBC 5.
If passed, the bill would also decriminalize cannabis possession in amounts that are up to two times the adult legal limit, while also reducing some other cannabis-related activities.
According to the report, it appears that House and Senate negotiators are heading towards a final agreement on legislation that would legalize, regulate, and tax the sale of cannabis in VT.
The bill now requires a final vote from the House and Senate before moving to the desk of Governor Phil Scott for possible approval.
