| Summary: On May 21, 2020, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed legislation, HB 972/SB 2, to decriminalize simple marijuana possession and prohibit employers from requiring applicants to disclose information related to past criminal charges for such possession. The law provides that convictions for simple marijuana possession will not be reflected on a person's criminal record. If, however, a person is found to have possessed marijuana while operating a commercial motor vehicle, that violation will be reported to the state Department of Motor Vehicles and added to the person's driving record. The law will take effect July 1, 2020.
