Expands eligibility for felony expunction to include convictions for receiving stolen property under Section 97-17-70, in addition to existing eligible offenses like bad checks, drug possession, false pretense, larceny, malicious mischief, and shoplifting.

Raises the age threshold for juvenile felony expunction from under 18 years old to under 21 years old at time of offense.

Allows eligible felons to petition for expunction five years after successful completion of all sentence terms and conditions, with eligibility limited to one felony expunction per person.

Excludes violent crimes and drug distribution-related felonies from juvenile expunction eligibility, including rape, sexual battery, murder, manslaughter, carjacking, burglary, cyberstalking, and exploitation of children.

Retains nonpublic expunction records with the Mississippi Criminal Information Center and law enforcement for determining first-offender status, while allowing employers to inquire about expunctions and requiring disclosure to courts during jury selection.
