Government House asked people convicted in cases involving two ounces or less of cannabis to come forward for potential expungement.[1] It said gaps in judicial data complicated the automatic process and identified Positive Nelson as head of the task force.[1] Earlier that year, Governor Bryan had announced possession pardons and explained that clearing a conviction from the record required expungement.[2]
