SB 2336 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Expungement and criminal liability; amend provisions related to human trafficking.

This bill prohibits the expungement of felony convictions for promoting or procuring prostitution under Mississippi law. It clarifies that minors are not criminally liable for nonviolent acts committed during human trafficking victimization. Victims of human trafficking may now request courts to expunge misdemeanor and nonviolent convictions directly resulting from their trafficking experience. The bill also establishes an affirmative defense for criminal charges stemming from trafficking victimization, ensuring these cases are evaluated with context of the victimization.
