Illinois lawmakers sent a bill to Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) that would revise the state’s Criminal Identification Act to avoid courts denying petitions to expunge or seal records based on a positive drug test for cannabis, reported Marijuana Moment.
HB 4392, sponsored by Rep. Carol Ammons (D), stipulates that courts “shall not deny a petition for expungement or sealing because the petitioner has submitted a drug test taken within 30 days before the filing of the petition for expungement or sealing that indicates a positive test for the presence of cannabis within the petitioner’s body.”
