Bill > HB267

This bill amends Section 99-19-71 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to authorize the expungement of a conviction for felony embezzlement by a state, county, city, or town officer 14 years after the successful completion of all terms and conditions of the sentence. The bill specifies that this expungement provision applies to a single felony conviction, and it outlines the process for the petitioner to seek the expungement order from the court. The bill also provides context around the general expungement process in Mississippi, including the types of offenses that are eligible for expungement and the effects of an expungement order.
