Expungement; consolidate statutes concerning.
SB 2327 consolidates Mississippi's scattered expungement laws into a single, unified statute. It allows eligible individuals to remove certain misdemeanor convictions (first-offense non-traffic misdemeanors) and felony convictions (after 5 years, excluding violent crimes, arson, drug trafficking, repeat DUI, and gun offenses) from public records. The bill also creates new pathways for expunging first-offense DUI, completed intervention court cases, and minor alcohol purchase convictions by minors. It specifies that expungement does not erase nonpublic law enforcement records or prevent employers from asking about expunged offenses, while repealing outdated related statutes.
