Notable Mississippi laws going into effect on July 1
SUMMARY: The 2023 Mississippi legislative session was unexpectedly eventful, with a number of bills passed and signed into law by Governor Tate Reeves. Some of the key laws that will go into effect starting July 1 include the extension of postpartum Medicaid benefits, allowing educators to carry firearms in the classroom, prohibiting the direct sale of automobiles through brick-and-mortar locations, and no longer considering fentanyl test strips as paraphernalia. Other laws include banning sexually explicit material in public libraries and schools, creating a registry for those guilty of misspending taxpayer dollars, and banning TikTok on government devices. The session also saw the approval of an 11-member study committee to examine the possibility of online sports betting in the state. There were also laws related to off-duty police officers, volunteer firefighter benefits, ballot harvesting, pecan theft, and the designation of the blueberry as the state fruit and the Mississippi Opal as the state gemstone.
