Today, New York governor, Andrew Cuomo has signed a bill into effect which further decriminalized marijuana. The legislation signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo changes the penalties for small amounts of marijuana. The penalty is $50 for possessing less than one ounce of pot or a maximum of $200 for one to two ounces. The law also requires that records tied to low-level marijuana cases be automatically sealed and creates a process for expungement.
