Voting rights and expungement; person may have voting rights restored and certain felony records expunged after five years.

HB 413 would automatically restore voting rights to Mississippi residents convicted of certain non-violent felonies (excluding arson, armed robbery, carjacking, embezzlement over $5,000, murder, rape, or statutory rape) once they complete all sentencing requirements. It would also automatically expunge eligible felony records from state databases five years after completing all terms of conviction, without requiring additional applications. The bill mandates circuit clerks to notify the Mississippi Criminal Information Center of expungement orders, requiring the Department of Public Safety to remove related criminal history data within 45 days. This applies to individuals with specific felony convictions who have satisfied all court-imposed conditions.
