Mississippi HB86 revises the age restriction for expunging misdemeanor convictions.
Mississippi HB86 amends Section 21-23-7 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to remove the age restriction for expunging misdemeanor convictions. This bill allows individuals convicted of misdemeanors, excluding traffic violations, to have their records expunged regardless of age. Expungement can occur if the person was a first offender and the court finds it appropriate. The bill also outlines various powers and procedures for municipal judges, including the ability to impose fines, suspend sentences, and hold court outside the municipality's boundaries.
