Notable Mississippi laws going into effect on July 1
SUMMARY: The 2023 Mississippi legislative session was unexpectedly eventful, with a number of bills passed and signed into law by Governor Tate Reeves. Some of the key laws that will go into effect starting July 1 include the extension of postpartum Medicaid benefits, allowing educators to carry firearms in the classroom, prohibiting the direct sale of automobiles through brick-and-mortar locations, and no longer considering fentanyl test strips as paraphernalia. Other laws include banning sexually explicit material in public libraries and schools, creating a registry for those guilty of misspending taxpayer dollars, and banning TikTok on government devices. The session also saw the approval of an 11-member study committee to examine the possibility of online sports betting in the state. There were also laws related to off-duty police officers, volunteer firefighter benefits, ballot harvesting, pecan theft, and the designation of the blueberry as the state fruit and the Mississippi Opal as the state gemstone.

SUMMARY: Thanksgiving is the top day for home-cooking fires in the U.S., with Mississippi experiencing six fire-related deaths this year due to unattended cooking. In response, the Mississippi Insurance Department and State Fire Marshal’s Office provided safety tips for holiday cooking. Key recommendations include keeping flammable items away from the stove, avoiding loose clothing, using the back burners for children, and having a lid ready to smother small fires. Families are advised to create an escape plan, call 911 after exiting, and use turkey fryers outdoors, ensuring they are stable and never left unattended to prevent fires.
