(MNN)-State officials are trying to educate Minnesotans about cannabis expungements under the new adult-use law.

He says thousands of cannabis-related offenses, misdemeanor convictions, and specific offenses not resulting in a conviction have already been automatically sealed as part of this process.

Evans says the BCA is currently working to identify additional records that may quality for automatic expungement.
