SUMMARY: Senate Bill 2886, the Mississippi Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team Law, aims to address deadly domestic violence incidents by creating a review board. The board will examine interactions between victims and various services, such as medical, law enforcement, and victim services, to identify system strengths and weaknesses. The team will recommend policy changes to reduce domestic violence homicides. The bill has bipartisan support and was championed by Senator Bryce Wiggins and Stacy Riley from the Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence. Once signed into law, it may take a year for the board to become operational.
