SUMMARY: The 2025 Mississippi legislative session ended without passing a $7 billion budget due to internal conflicts among Republican officials. The House sought a brief extension to address budget bills, but the Senate did not meet the deadline. House Speaker Jason White criticized longstanding practices, advocating for a transparent budget process, while Senate leaders expressed frustration over the House’s absence during crucial discussions. With no budget finalized, Governor Tate Reeves must call a special session to ensure funding by June 30, or face government shutdowns affecting over 100,000 employees. Special sessions incur substantial taxpayer costs, exceeding $100,000 per day.

SUMMARY: Mississippi residents aged 21 and up cannot legally place sports bets via mobile devices, as efforts to pass online sports betting legislation have failed for the third year in a row. A key disagreement between House and Senate leaders halted progress, despite the House passing a mobile sports betting bill (HB 1302) with bipartisan support. The Senate Gaming Committee did not pursue the bill. Proponents argue that legalizing mobile betting could tap into a $3 billion illegal betting market, while opponents, like Senate Chair David Blount, emphasize that it does not enhance tourism or investment. Mississippi remains one of 19 states without mobile sports betting.
