Expungement; authorize automatically for first-time offenders.

Summary

HB 757 would give people convicted of a crime for the first time an automatic court order to expunge that conviction from public records once they finish all sentencing requirements. The state would waive any filing fees and keep a confidential record only to confirm future first‑offender status. The measure also amends several sections of the Mississippi Code, including provisions related to drug‑related offenses, but it failed to pass and died in committee.
