Embezzlement; revise the list of excluded crimes for expungement.
HB 307 would amend Mississippi law to remove certain embezzlement convictions from the list of crimes excluded from expungement. Specifically, it removes embezzlement from Section 99-19-71(2)(a)(v), which previously barred these convictions from being cleared from public records. This change would allow individuals convicted of the affected embezzlement offenses to petition for expungement after meeting standard requirements, such as completing their sentence and paying fines. The bill aims to provide a clear path for eligible residents to have these non-violent financial crime convictions removed from their records.
