New Yorkers with previous marijuana convictions will have their records wiped clean under the new legalization law

The criminal records of people previously convicted of marijuana-related crimes in New York will be expunged under a new law passed in the state.

New York Governor signed the bill into law on Wednesday, legalizing marijuana for adults across the state.

The new law will allow New Yorkers to possess three ounces of marijuana or less, and will let them grow up to three marijuana plants at home.

Anyone previously convicted of marijuana possession under the now-legal limit will have their convictions expunged and they will be re-sentenced, according to ABC News.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Biden infrastructure plan the ‘biggest economic blunder’ of our lifetime: Rep. Brady

Rep. Brady: Biden’s infrastructure plan will ‘dumb down’ U.S. economy

Texas congressman and House Ways and Means Committee member explains economic consequences of Biden’s infrastructure plan.

Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo Wednesday, in a wide-ranging interview on 'Mornings with Maria,' that Biden's corporate tax increase in the proposed infrastructure bill will hurt the U.S. economy.

MARIA BARTIROMO: Republicans on your committee are against this bill. And I want to ask you why…

…

REP. KEVIN BRADY: Yes, so, Maria, clearly smart investment in infrastructure over time will boost economic growth. But if you impose, at the same time, two trillion dollars of tax increases on America's job creators, you actually have a net loss of economic growth in this bill. No president has ever raised business taxes trying to rebuild an economy from an economic crisis. I think, at the end of the day, this will be the biggest economic blunder, frankly, of our lifetimes.

GM recalling 10,000 Chevy and GMC vans due to fire risk

WASHINGTON — General Motors is recalling more than 10,000 vans due to a fire risk and recommending that owners park them outdoors away from buildings and other structures until they are repaired.

GM has recalled almost 8,000 2021 Chevrolet Express and more than 2,000 2021 GMC Savana vehicles, saying that drivers may get a low battery voltage warning if a short circuit occurs, which can cause the battery to die or cause a fire under the hood. The short circuits are caused by contact between the positive battery cable and a fuse attachment post.

Vehicle owners can visit NHTSA.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their vehicle has been recalled.

Only vehicles with 6.6-liter gas engines built on or prior to December 7, 2020 are affected by the recall.
