Mississippi Center for Legal Services Corporation Fund; create and provide for a new fee on expungement petitions to be deposited into.

HB 387 creates the Mississippi Center for Legal Services Corporation Fund, a new state fund administered by the Mississippi Center for Legal Services Corporation. The bill changes the $152 filing fee for expungement petitions (to clear criminal records) by redirecting $2 of that fee to the new fund instead of other accounts. This $2 per petition will be deposited into the fund, which can also accept private or public donations, with money not lapsing at year-end. The fund will distribute money to legal service centers statewide through legislative appropriations, directly supporting low-income legal aid providers.
