SUMMARY: The Mississippi House of Representatives unanimously approved House Bill 1063, the “Mississippi State Employees Paid Paternal Leave Act,” to support state employees with newborns or newly adopted children. The bill provides paid parental leave for employees with at least one year of service, allowing primary caregivers eight weeks of fully paid leave and secondary caregivers two weeks. Leave must be taken within 12 weeks of the child’s arrival and can only be used once a year. While public schools are not required to offer paid leave, the bill permits them to adopt similar policies. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.

SUMMARY: Sean Pedulla’s late three-pointer secured an 87-84 victory for Ole Miss over Oklahoma, preventing a fourth consecutive loss. As an Oklahoma native, Pedulla relished the win against a team he grew up admiring. The Rebels (20-9, 9-8 SEC) bounced back from a significant loss to No. 1 Auburn, showcasing resilience against a tough Sooners (17-12, 4-12 SEC) team. Pedulla led Ole Miss with 26 points, while Dayton Forsythe scored 25 for Oklahoma. The win likely ensures Ole Miss a spot in the NCAA Tournament, with projections showing them as a possible 6 or 7 seed. The Rebels next face No. 5 Tennessee.
