New Laws for Mississippians on the Horizon
SUMMARY: New Mississippi legislation, effective July 1st, includes House Bill 349, banning trucks and SUVs with lifted front fenders higher than four inches above the back, addressing safety concerns. Despite introducing 2100 bills, only 225 became law. Controversial HB1409, a criminal justice reform bill benefiting over 40,000 voters, died in the Senate, but House Bill 64 allows incarcerated individuals to vote unless convicted of disenfranchising crimes. Public schools will receive $250 million from the new Mississippi Student Funding Formula. Walker’s Law criminalizes sextortion with up to 15 years in prison. House Bill 1323 removes the statute of limitations on sexual abuse crimes against the elderly and vulnerable.
