MS SB2572

Clarifies that out-of-state DUI convictions count toward penalty enhancement for fourth and subsequent DUI offenses without regard to time limitations, while second and third offense enhancements still require convictions within five years

Requires all DUI expunctions, including those granted by intervention courts (drug courts, veterans courts, etc.), to be recorded in a permanent confidential registry maintained by the Department of Public Safety

Mandates that intervention court nonadjudications and dismissals of DUI charges must comply with the same requirements as regular court nonadjudications and be recorded in the confidential registry

Establishes that intervention courts can only dismiss DUI charges through formal nonadjudication orders, not simple dismissals, ensuring proper tracking of all DUI case dispositions

Maintains the confidential registry system accessible to judges, clerks, prosecutors, and law enforcement to determine eligibility for first-offender status, nonadjudication, or expunction
