Bill overview
The HOPE Act of 2024 aims to reduce the financial and administrative hurdles for states, local governments, and tribal nations to expunge cannabis-related convictions. It establishes a grant program, funded at $2 million annually for ten years, to help these entities utilize technology, legal clinics, and other innovative approaches to streamline the expungement process. The bill also directs the Department of Justice to conduct a study on the long-term impacts of cannabis convictions on individuals and the costs associated with incarceration.
