SUMMARY: The Writers Guild of America strike, which began nearly 50 days ago, has affected the production of TV and film nationwide. While some productions in Mississippi are on hold, others are moving forward due to locked script statuses. Film production in the state, which reached historical highs in 2022, has not been as impacted as California. Still, the situation could change if the actors’ strike authorized for July 1st goes into effect. Unscripted content, such as the show “Hometown,” has not been impacted by the strike. No agreement is expected until August at the earliest.

SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves has vetoed House Bill 569, intended to reform Mississippi’s certificate of need (CON) laws, which require healthcare providers to obtain government approval for significant expenditures. The bill aimed to raise the expenditure thresholds and assess exemptions for small hospitals regarding dialysis centers. Reeves opposed it due to a late amendment by Senator Hob Bryan, which he argued violated the separation of powers and interfered with ongoing litigation involving specific hospitals. While Reeves supports CON reform, he insists that any changes must be equally applied. He may address the issue in an upcoming special session focused on the state budget.

SUMMARY: U.S. residents, including those in Mississippi, have until May 7 to obtain a REAL ID to fly commercially. REAL ID is a federally compliant state-issued ID established by the 2005 Real ID Act to enhance airport and federal building security. To get a REAL ID in Mississippi, individuals must visit a driver’s license service bureau with specific documents, including a Social Security card and proof of residency. Most Mississippi drivers issued licenses since 2018 already have REAL IDs. After May 7, REAL IDs can still be obtained but won’t be valid for air travel or federal access until issued.
