Mayor Muckle opened the public hearing. Colette Cribari, Prosecuting Attomey, stated the Court is recommending these changes to address the issue of sealing records for Minors in Possession (MIP) offensives. Sealing records can cost up to $300 for a defendant; with this ordinance it will be done automatically In addition, these ordinance amendments mirror the language in the state statute. It specifically identifies what a MIP is and provides for some immunity from prosecution for young people who are reporting alcohol and drug use of others, perhaps in an overdose situation. Councilmember Leh asked what is the effect of an MIP record for a minor. Ms. Cribari stated that as marijuana it is still regulated by the Federal government it can impact a minor's record moving forward. However, if the record is sealed in our Court it is sealed everywhere and won't be on a person's record.
