The firm’s contribution to this landmark legislation, which also included enacting a law to provide automatic expungement of records for arrests, prosecutions, and convictions of simple possession will impact approximately 300 individuals who were convicted for simple possession in the Virgin Islands over the last 20 years and introduce an additional and emerging industry in the Virgin Islands.
