Consolidates Mississippi's various expungement statutes into a single unified law covering misdemeanors, felonies, DUI convictions, intervention court completions, and nonconvictions

Allows first-time misdemeanor offenders to petition for expungement, while those with multiple misdemeanors must demonstrate rehabilitation and good conduct for 2 years since their last conviction

Permits expungement of one felony conviction 5 years after completing the sentence, excluding violent crimes, arson, drug trafficking, third or subsequent DUI offenses, sex offender registration failures, and embezzlement

Establishes a $150 filing fee for felony expungement petitions in circuit court, with $140 going to the State General Fund and $10 retained by the circuit clerk

Requires courts to automatically issue expungement orders upon dismissal or nolle prosequi, and mandates that clerks send certified copies of all expungement orders to the Mississippi Criminal Information Center for a confidential database
