Illinois has recently approved House Bill 4392, which will now allow positive cannabis tests for those applying for an expunction of criminal charges. The previous law required that individuals seeking an expunction or seal of felony drug convictions test negative for cannabis usage. The new law, which will go into effect January 1st, 2023, will now do away with this requirement.
The bill will also apply to a wide range of violation convictions, including The Illinois Controlled Substances Act, The Methamphetamine Control & Community Protection Act, and The Cannabis Control Act. The bill will also be applied to records of felony drug offenses that qualify for probation. Many lawmakers are hopeful that this bill will help make the expunction process easier for many, helping individuals seeking job opportunities and allowing people to act as participating members of society.
