SUMMARY: Mississippi House lawmakers failed to attend critical conference talks with the Senate, risking the demise of bills due to the filing deadline. Senate lawmakers arrived at the Capitol to ensure conference reports were filed, but House Speaker Jason White did not participate. Senate Appropriations Chairman Briggs Hopson cited a “roadblock” with the House docket room closed, preventing the filing of key bills, including those for the 2026 budget and child protective services. Speaker White stated the House would reconvene on Monday for an “open and transparent” process, offering to engage with the Senate in the coming days.
