With many states moving to legalize or decriminalize cannabis, laws to expunge criminal records for offenses of which the underlying conduct is no longer a crime have been enacted in many states.

Additionally, some states have enacted legislation providing automatic expungement or sealing of records for those convicted of certain cannabis-related crimes.
