A similar bill, the Maryland Clean Slate Act, would direct the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services to clear marijuana possession records and cases at least three years old. The bill would also allow for expungement of misdemeanor charges after seven years.
However, domestic-related crimes and second-degree assault charges would remain ineligible for expungement under the proposed law.
