HB 267 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Embezzlement; revise the list of excluded crimes for expungement.

HB 267 (Mississippi House Bill 267) amends Mississippi Code Section 99-19-71 to remove specific types of embezzlement from the list of crimes excluded from expungement. This change allows individuals convicted of these embezzlement offenses to petition courts for expungement after completing their sentences and waiting five years, provided they meet other eligibility criteria. The bill directly affects people with qualifying embezzlement convictions who were previously barred from expungement. It makes no other changes to the expungement eligibility rules or other excluded crimes. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
