Marijuana Moment

A GOP-controlled congressional committee is set to vote on a series of bills this week targeting various Washington, D.C. policies, including one measure that would repeal a local law expanding expungements for marijuana possession.

The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), will meet on Wednesday for the markup of 14 bills focused on amending or repealing multiple D.C. laws.

“President Trump and House Republicans are committed to restoring law and order in our nation’s capital city,” Comer said in a press release on Friday, noting the president’s push to address perceived inadequacies of local law enforcement.

Part of that effort involves the proposed repeal of the Second Chance Amendment Act, a D.C. law passed in 2022 that took effect the next year.

Under the law, the District’s judiciary was mandated to automatically expunge marijuana possession records for offenses that took place before D.C. enacted a limited cannabis legalization law in 2014.

Heres’s the key text of the D.C. law that the congressional bill would repeal:

“The Court shall order automatic expungement of all criminal records and court proceedings related only to citations, arrests, charges, or convictions for the commission of a criminal offense that has subsequently been decriminalized, legalized, or held to be unconstitutional by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia or the Supreme Court of the United States, or records related only to simple possession for any quantity of marijuana in violation of § 48-904.01(d)(1) before February 15, 2015…”

“Under President Trump’s decisive leadership, crime in D.C. is now falling at an unprecedented rate,” Comer said. “The House Oversight Committee stands ready to back the President’s swift action by advancing comprehensive legislative reforms that empower District law enforcement and tackle the escalating juvenile crime crisis head-on.”
