Senate passes bill focusing on treatment-based approach to meth arrests
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Senate has passed Senate Bill 2347, revising penalties for methamphetamine possession with a 33-7 vote. Authored by Sen. Daniel Sparks, the bill shifts towards treatment for meth addiction. It raises the misdemeanor amount from one-tenth of a gram to one gram, imposing up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine for a first offense. Second offenses incur harsher fines and up to six months in jail, while a third offense becomes a felony, risking five years in prison and a $50,000 fine. The bill now moves to the House and could take effect immediately if signed by the governor.

Legislation creating turkey stamp program in Mississippi picking up steam
SUMMARY: Mississippi may soon require hunters aged 16 and older to purchase a turkey stamp to hunt wild turkeys, as outlined in House Bill 553 and Senate Bill 2280. Sponsored by Rep. Bill Kinkade and Sen. Ben Suber, these bills establish a program mandating a $10 stamp for residents and $100 for non-residents, with all proceeds dedicated to turkey habitat conservation. The Mississippi Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks would oversee implementation. Hunters without a stamp would face misdemeanors, while exceptions apply for disabled hunters and lifetime license holders. The law could take effect this summer if approved.
