MS SB2718

CDL and commercial learner's permit holders who commit DUI offenses while driving non-commercial vehicles would become eligible for nonadjudication and expunction under the same terms as regular license holders

Current Mississippi law prohibits all CDL holders from receiving nonadjudication or expunction for any DUI offense, regardless of whether they were operating a commercial vehicle at the time

The bill amends Section 63-11-30 of the Mississippi Code to specify that the CDL holder restriction only applies when the person "was operating a vehicle that required the possession of such a license or permit" at the time of the offense

First-time DUI offenders meeting eligibility requirements can seek nonadjudication (court withholds guilt adjudication pending program completion) or expunction (record removal at least 5 years after completing sentence terms)

Effective date is July 1, 2026
