MS HB940

Makes it unlawful to take, use, sell, or dispose of consigned motor fuels without the consignor's consent, with violations classified as larceny subject to penalties under Sections 97-17-41 or 97-17-43 based on property value.

Requires a written agreement between consignors and consignees stating that title to consigned motor fuels and proceeds from their sale remain vested in the consignor, not the consignee.

Defines "consigned motor fuels" as gasoline, gasohol, diesel, kerosene, and aviation fuels delivered by one merchant to another for sale while remaining the property of the consignor.

Amends Section 99-19-71 to allow persons convicted of larceny of consigned motor fuels to petition for expungement five years after successful completion of sentence, on the same basis as other eligible larceny convictions.
