MS HB1392

Allows persons reinstated to practice medicine or dentistry after conviction to petition for expungement of the conviction that caused loss of their license.

Clarifies that "one conviction" for felony expungement purposes includes multiple convictions arising from a common nucleus of operative facts, at the court's discretion.

Maintains existing eligibility for misdemeanor expungement for first offenders and felony expungement for specified offenses (bad check, drug possession, false pretense, larceny, malicious mischief, shoplifting) five years after sentence completion.

Preserves restrictions on expungement eligibility, including prohibition for public officials convicted of crimes related to official duties and exclusions for crimes of violence and drug distribution cases.

Takes effect July 1, 2017.
