OZARK, Mo. – Thousands of Missourians should no longer have to explain misdemeanor marijuana cases when they fill out applications for jobs or housing. Judges and clerks had until Thursday to expunge those cases after voters passed Amendment 3 in November.
“Christian County is ahead of the game,” Presiding Commissioner Lynn Morris said. “We’re already past the next deadline and we’re working overtime.”
But some with misdemeanors are still waiting to get the charges off their record, as clerks said they have not had time to look at records dating back to the 80s and 90s.
