SUMMARY: Mississippi Representative Earle Banks received probation after facing federal criminal charges for filing false tax information and not paying income taxes five years prior. In 2018, he declared $38,237 as his adjusted gross income, despite earning over $500,000 in real estate profits. His attorney stated that Banks mistakenly omitted a capital gain on his tax return and is cooperating with authorities. Having served in the House for 30 years, Banks pleaded guilty in a plea deal and has paid full restitution of $84,766, leading to his recent probation sentence.

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.

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.
