SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Expungement of certain misdemeanor drug offenses. Allows a person convicted of a misdemeanor offense of possession of a controlled substance or marijuana, or charged with such an offense which charge was deferred and dismissed, who has successfully completed all terms of probation to file a petition for expungement one year after the completion of such terms if he has not been convicted of any offense involving violence. Any conviction that is expunged will be considered a prior conviction for purposes of prosecution of any subsequent offense for which the prior conviction statutorily enhances punishment.
