MS HB1381

Allows individuals who committed a felony before age 18 to petition the court to expunge one conviction from all public records five years after completing their sentence

Excludes violent and serious crimes from expunction eligibility, including rape, murder, manslaughter, carjacking, burglary of occupied dwellings, cyberstalking, child exploitation, armed robbery, and drug distribution felonies

Grants circuit courts discretion to deny expunction for any felony deemed a violent crime or one that should not be expunged in the court's judgment

Requires petitioners to provide 10 days' written notice to the district attorney before any hearing, and courts must determine on the record that the applicant is rehabilitated

Takes effect March 31, 2011, and limits individuals to only one felony expunction under this provision
