SB 2792 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Expungement; authorize for arrest records in cases where charges were dropped, no disposition entered, or findings of not guilty.

Mississippi's SB 2792 would require judges to automatically expunge arrest records in three specific situations: when charges were dropped after arrest, when no court disposition was entered, or when a person was found not guilty at trial. This law would directly affect individuals whose cases were dismissed or resulted in a not-guilty verdict, allowing them to clear these records without needing to file a separate petition. The bill amends existing Mississippi Code sections to mandate this expungement process for eligible cases, excluding implied consent violations (such as DUI offenses). It aims to provide a streamlined process for clearing certain criminal records that do not result in conviction.
