Expunction; allow after 20 years of good behavior with certain exceptions.
Mississippi's SB 2341 would allow courts to expunge certain felony convictions from public records after 20 years of completing all sentence terms and having no new offenses. It primarily affects individuals convicted of non-excluded felonies (like drug offenses or property crimes) who have maintained a clean record for two decades. The bill excludes serious offenses such as rape, sex crimes, violent crimes, and repeat DUIs from eligibility. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and does not change current requirements for sex offender registration or jury service.
