Expungement; remove embezzlement by officers from the list of nonexpungeable crimes.

Summary

The bill amends Mississippi’s expunction statute to remove certain felony embezzlement offenses committed by public officers from the list of crimes that cannot be erased from public records. It would allow eligible individuals with those convictions to petition a court for expungement after meeting the standard five‑year waiting period and other requirements. The change aims to give people a clearer path to restore their legal status after serving their sentences.
