MS state sen. legislative outlook
SUMMARY: Today was the deadline for state lawmakers to introduce legislation, and Senator Chris Johnson submitted two bills.

Senator Johnson is also working with other legislative leaders to create better policies. He states that A.I. is here and that kids are going to use it, so it is important to explore ways to incorporate it into the educational system. These bills could potentially have a significant impact on the future of education and employee benefits.
