SUMMARY: Mississippi Senate lawmakers halted progress on several alcohol reform bills, including House Bills 329 and 430, which aimed to align state alcohol sales with the majority of the U.S. by allowing liquor store operation on Sundays and permitting direct wine shipment to residents. Senator Jeremy England advocated for modernizing the state’s alcohol policies and enabling direct-to-consumer shipping like in other states. Despite his efforts and similar bills passing in other committees, concerns from liquor and package store owners about potential negative impacts on their businesses led to the bills not advancing. House Bill 777, intended to permit wine and liquor sales in small towns within dry counties, was also rejected, keeping Mississippi’s strict alcohol regulations unchanged.

SUMMARY: Following the House Ethics Committee’s report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, detailing alleged payments for sex and drugs, Chairman Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.) stated he opposed releasing the findings. He argued that the committee lost jurisdiction after Gaetz’s resignation, and releasing the report deviated from established protocols. Guest highlighted a previous instance involving Rep. Mark Foley but emphasized the significance of not investigating former members. Democrats defended the release due to Gaetz’s cabinet candidacy, while Republicans viewed it as a misuse of authority. Gaetz, maintaining his innocence, criticized the report, claiming the evidence was manipulated against him.
