80.	HB 80 Bad Policy	Dogs; regulate and provide penalties for those with a history of biting.
		Analysis: This bill expands government authority and applies consequences of violations of the new criminal code within the bill inconsistently in comparison with consequences of violations of other existing criminal code. While the issue of vicious dogs, specifically in regards to their attacks on children and elderly across our state, evokes immense emotional response as it rightfully should, it is essential for citizens as active and engaged members of a community to promote personal responsibility while carefully considering the unintended consequences of an ever-expanding criminal code. In addition, this bill creates a specific civil entitlement provision associated with violations of the new criminal code. This type of action by the legislative body should be avoided as it is an encroachment on the principle of separation of powers. Moreover, the civil entitlement provision in this bill is a slap in the face to every Mississippian who has sought civil action associated with a gruesome killing of a loved one as no such provision exists for that action. The proper role of government is to preserve the safety of individuals; however, this necessary function should never be carried out in a manner that results in an inconsistent application of justice under the law.

		Analysis: This bill reduces government transparency and accountability by removing authority and oversight of bond funds.

The Department of Finance and Administration is tasked with the responsibility of oversight and should retain such authority without exemptions unless the net benefits of increased efficiency such exemptions exceed the potential for inefficiency and mismanagement in government building projects and associated maintenance.

		Analysis: This bill expands the size and scope of government, decreases government accountability and transparency, and reduces individual freedom.

111.	HB 111 Neutral	Community and junior colleges; authorize boards of trustees to approve policies permitting waiver of out-of-state tuition.
		Analysis: This bill increases accountability at the school level by tightening the existing statute authorizing out-of-state tuition waivers. This bill requires the president of each school to request a waiver of out-of-state tuition and limits the waivers to adjacent geographic areas, which is in line with the criteria for such waivers in surrounding states, rather than applying an overarching board instituted policy across all public colleges. However, this bill also removes the requirement for local industry, business, or state agency reimbursement. This policy change could potentially lead to increased budget requests by community and junior colleges.

The status of the person is of no concern, whether they are an incarcerated inmate in our state prison or an unborn baby waiting to see the world for the first time. This bill focuses on one of the most important reasons for the existing of government.

		Analysis: This bill makes specific changes to numerous FY21 appropriations from both the Capital Expense Fund and Special Fund sources. Special Funds contribute significantly to cronyism and a reduction of transparency and accountability in government.
200.	HB 200 Good Policy	Remote patient monitoring services; delete requirement of 2 recent hospitalizations to qualify for.

		Analysis:
274.	HB 274 Bad Policy	Law enforcement officers; allow certain use of uniform, weapon, vehicle and equipment for disaster relief when off-duty.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government efficiency and could potentially lead to increased government spending. County and municipal law enforcement resources should be used for county and municipal law enforcement. Additional use outside of the confines of the specific purpose for which that specific taxpayer money was collected and spent is improper and a misappropriation of resources. This bill is in direct contradiction with other state statutes which forbid this type of reallocation of resources.
275.	HB 275 Not Rated	Public employees; exempt from bad check fees caused by error in direct deposit made by their employer or retirement system.
		Analysis:
276.	HB 276 Not Rated	The Digital Access Learning and Virtual Instruction Program Act of 2021; create.

		Analysis:
284.	HB 284 Bad Policy	Pecan Harvesting Law; revise penalties for violating.
		Analysis: This bill increases penalties for violating the Pecan Harvesting Law. This is not the proper role of government.
285.	HB 285 Not Rated	Certificate of title; remove requirement for applicant to file a bond or deposit of cash as a condition of issuance.
		Analysis:
286.	HB 286 Bad Policy	Cemeteries; authorize to disinter and reinter dead human remains for next of kin instructions.
		Analysis: This bill interferes in our free market by inhibiting consumers’ ability to seek redress through a civil action in cases of negligence. Paragraph 6 of Section 1 (lines 72-78) of this bill removes all liability of cemetery owners in cases involving errors made by the cemetery owners during original interment that result in disinterment and reinterment of loved ones except in cases of intentional misconduct or malice. Furthermore, this bill specifically provides government sanctioned concealment of possible evidence in cases of negligence that may be obtained during a disinterment and/or reinterment by specifically allowing cemetery owners to disinter and reinter loved ones five days before notifying next of kin of the already completed action. (See paragraph 5 of Section 1, lines 63-68)
287.	HB 287 Good Policy	Drug Intervention Courts; standardize references.
		Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency and effectiveness in a program that promotes positive rehabilitation of non-violent offenders. This bill makes technical corrections to applicable language to insure proper application of law and functioning of the drug court system. This bill makes organizational/structural changes to the drug court system that result in increased efficiency and effectiveness.
288.	HB 288 Not Rated	Crimininal investigators; increase salary of.
		Analysis:
289.	HB 289 Not Rated	State assessments; deposit certain into designated special funds instead of General Fund.
		Analysis:
290.	HB 290 Good Policy	Pre-trial Intervention; prohibit certain amount of public embezzlement for.
		Analysis: This bill increases accountability for individuals facing criminal conviction for violations of public trust. Government should adopt consistent policies that hold all elected officials accountability and ensure equal justice.
291.	HB 291 Not Rated	'Mississippi Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act of 2021'; create.
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
294.	HB 294 Good Policy	Hospices; delete repealer on authority for prescribing certain drugs without in-person visit with a patient.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government interference in healthcare. The doctor – patient relationship should not be dictated by unnecessary government restrictions and mandates.
295.	HB 295 Not Rated	Home health services; authorize nurse practitioners and physician assistants to order and certify.
		Analysis:
296.	HB 296 Bad Policy	Hospice licensure; extend moratorium on and authorize issuance of 2 pediatric palliative care licenses.
		Analysis:
297.	HB 297 Not Rated	Dialysis facilities; nursing homes shall allow to provide mobile services on site to their patients.
		Analysis:
298.	HB 298 Not Rated	'The Lonnie Blue Safety Act'; create to regulate vehicular pursuits.
		Analysis:
299.	HB 299 Good Policy	Property interest; conveyance to married individuals considered to create joint tenancy with right of survivorship.
		Analysis: This bill clarifies legal status as it pertains to property rights of married individuals. A core function of government is the protection of the most basic and yet most fundamental unit of government, the family unit. In addition, government must support the institution of marriage through good policy that reduces unnecessary burdens on marriage couples, as statistics consistently prove that the stability of marriages within a population determines the overall stability of that population.
300.	HB 300 Neutral	Bail procedures; bring forward provisions for purposes of amendment.
		Analysis: This bill in its current form only brings forward code sections for amendment. Ideally, bills will present at least the nature of proposed changes when they are presented on the House floor. The process of passing bills that do nothing for the sole purpose of making the intended changes at the last possible minute near the end of session in conference committees, which have limited access for participation of our elected representatives provides little to no transparency nor accountability. Therefore, the rating of this bill is subject to change as it moves through the legislative process.
301.	HB 301 Not Rated	EMTs; authorize to deny service to nonemergency when needed for an emergency.
		Analysis:
302.	HB 302 Good Policy	Community schools; authorize implementation under the administration of a District Innovation.

		Analysis:
311.	HB 311 Good Policy	Sales tax; exempt certain transfers of motor vehicles involving partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations.
		Analysis: This bill reduces unnecessary government burdens on businesses and reduces tax liability collections by eliminating additional tax liabilities on vehicles transferred among shareholders of LLCs and members of corporations.
312.	HB 312 Good Policy	Central Market Board; abolish and transfer functions of to the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce.
		Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency and accountability by abolishing the Central Market Board and moving its functions to the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce. The government should abolish all unnecessary boards, streamline only necessary services, eliminate functions that are not part of the core functions of government, and reduce overall spending.
313.	HB 313 Not Rated	Student club funds; clarify use and accounting practices by school districts.
		Analysis:
314.	HB 314 Bad Policy	State Department of Education; permit to receive various contributions from public or private donors.
		Analysis: This bill decreases government accountability and transparency by authorizing private donors to dictate the manner in which donations are expended and/or utilized. This policy is in direct contradiction with the principle of representative government. Our elected officials are accountable to the voters. This bill creates an arrangement in which unaccountable private donors are given authority to determine education policy through stipulations on donations. (See lines 25 – 29)
315.	HB 315 Not Rated	Gifted education; require school districts to provide for students in Grades 7 and 8.
		Analysis:
316.	HB 316 Not Rated	Kindergarten-age children; require mandatory attendance under compulsory school attendance laws.
		Analysis:

This bill increases government efficiency and accountability by providing a necessary specification regarding appeal procedures for individuals seeking review of a ruling regarding a gun permit.
320.	HB 320 Good Policy	Perpetual care cemeteries; authorize counties and cities to clean property of those not properly maintained.
		Analysis: This bill provides a mechanism for counties and cities to address neglected perpetual care cemeteries integrating existing procedures regarding nuisance properties in conjunction with new code outlining procedures for obtaining repayment for services from trusts for the perpetual care cemeteries through the Secretary of State’s office. This bill makes positive changes to existing law by incorporating common sense solutions to real problems requiring specific actions within the proper role of government.
321.	HB 321 Not Rated	Student residency requirements; require State Board of Education to adopt uniform policy to be implemented by school boards.

		Analysis:
327.	HB 327 Neutral	Comprehensive Hurricane Damage Mitigation Program; extend repealer on.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor contracts the size of government.
328.	HB 328 Neutral	State and Interstate highways; authorize Mississippi Transportation Commission and counties to contract for counties to maintain.

		Analysis:
330.	HB 330 Neutral	Uninsured motorist coverage law; revise to prohibit insurance policy from paying certain losses if another insurance policy must pay for such.

331.	HB 331 Not Rated	Professional employer organizations; provide for registration and regulation by the Insurance Department.
		Analysis:
332.	HB 332 Not Rated	Nonadmitted policy fee; revise distribution of and delete repealer on.

		Analysis:
338.	HB 338 Good Policy	Abortion; provide that inducing or performing is unlawful.
		Analysis: Abortion involves the taking of an innocent life. It is one of the worst crimes that can be committed against an individual. We commend Rep. Eubanks for this bill.
339.	HB 339 Not Rated	State employees; provide for 3% increase in compensation for each of the next 4 fiscal years.
		Analysis:
340.	HB 340 Not Rated	Patient Choice Act of 2021; create.

		Analysis:
350.	HB 350 Good Policy	Certificate of rehabilitation; authorize those convicted in another state to apply for a.
		Analysis: This bill would allow persons convicted of or a felony in another state or federal courts the ability to apply for a certificate of rehabilitation in the state after completing their sentence, as is already allowed for persons convicted in Mississippi courts.
351.	HB 351 Not Rated	Law enforcement; provide for and amend various laws regarding.
		Analysis:
352.	HB 352 Neutral	Home inspector license; require applicants to undergo certain background checks.
		Analysis: This bill adds background checks to the list requirements to qualify for a home inspector license in the state of Mississippi. The existing criteria for which a license may be denied includes a felony conviction or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere in the previous five years. Given the existing criteria, this bill does not expand government authority directly. However, government should continually work to reduce its restrictions, regulations, and barriers to employment to the fullest extent possible while preserving public safety.
353.	HB 353 Not Rated	Hate crimes; revise delineation of victim.
		Analysis:
354.	HB 354 Bad Policy	Municipal judges; authorize to order a defendant to remedy real property ordinance violations within a reasonable time period.
		Analysis: This bill reduces individual liberty and increases government authority. This bill subverts the very nature of our justice system by eliminating an accused's ability to appeal in municipal cases involving code violations and granting local government entities immediate authority following the lapse of a specified time frame without regard to circumstance or any other applicable variables.
355.	HB 355 Not Rated	Department of Health; give authority to levy and collect fee on sales of medical marijuana.
		Analysis:
356.	HB 356 Bad Policy	Child abuse; expand immunity for good faith reports.
		Analysis: This bill establishes immunity for a new classification of individuals working with/alongside government agencies. This new language is vague to say the least. The disclosure of sensitive information, especially information regarding children, must not be separated from our founding principle of personal privacy. Government's proper role is to protect individuals’ God-given rights not to grant its quasi-governmental partners immunity from liability when said partners’ actions abridge those rights. Lines 103-104 of this bill grants immunity to an individual employed outside of a government agency and/or department who “releases or uses information for the purpose of protecting a child.” This language has no limit, no foundation, and no place in our state’s law.
357.	HB 357 Neutral	Bonding requirement for county purchase clerk; increase.
		Analysis:
358.	HB 358 Neutral	Bonding requirement for school purchasing agents; increase.
		Analysis:
359.	HB 359 Bad Policy	Municipalities with a certain population; allow to establish overdue water/sewer programs.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes the transfer of money from taxpayers to fund a new government program to pay for assistance to low-income individuals. This is not the proper role of government.

		Analysis:
374.	HB 374 Neutral	Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; authorize for supporters of various organizations.
		Analysis: This bill provides a way for citizens of Mississippi to willingly choose to support a specific organization through the selection of a distinctive motor vehicle license tag. Citizen engagement is essential to the overall stability of representative government. Government should find more ways to obtain funding through voluntary programs such as this.
375.	HB 375 Not Rated	Sales tax; exempt sales of gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion.

		Analysis:
382.	HB 382 Bad Policy	Chronic wasting disease; revise requirements for testing of white-tailed deer harvested within enclosures.
		Analysis: This bill restricts individual liberty and adds additional burdens on property owners that are not necessary to preserve public safety. Existing statute provides wildlife personnel access to areas of suspected incidents of Chronic Wasting Disease. This bill expands government access to private property and institutes an initial $500 penalty and $1,000 subsequent penalties for violating the new reporting requirements.
383.	HB 383 Not Rated	National Board Certified teachers; provide additional annual salary supplement to those employed in Walthall County.

424.	HB 424 Neutral	Memorial highways; designate.
		Analysis:
425.	HB 425 Good Policy	Ad valorem tax; revise certain provisions regarding when an application for change of property assessment may be made.
		Analysis: Allows assessors the ability to use knowledge of unique property circumstances to change, cancel, or decrease the tax assessment. This bill allows greater flexibility for ensuring taxes are assessed correctly. *This bill brings forward numerous code sections. This action requires greater scrutiny of this bill as it moves through the legislative process. Code sections “brought forward" are opened up for amending. Significant deviations from this bill's initial intent due to language changes made at any time during the legislative process may result in its policy rating being changed if such deviations violate the principles of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy.
426.	HB 426 Not Rated	'MS Educator Dyslexia Awareness Act of 2021'; enact to require certain instruction and training for license renewal.
		Analysis:
427.	HB 427 Bad Policy	'Trauma-Informed Discipline Practices Act; enact to establish procedures to assess and mediate effects of traumatic events in schools.
		Analysis: This bill reduces students' individual liberty and privacy and expands government authority. This bill removes the standard Code of Ethics for school counselor and essentially replaces it with nothing by which to actually gauge and verify the work of school counselors. This bill authorizes a pre-emptive team of school personnel to seek out students and coordinate with local mental health organizations. Regardless of the actual intent of this bill, the text of this bill is dangerous to all public-school students and their families.
428.	HB 428 Not Rated	Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Columbus with certain road and street improvements.
		Analysis:
429.	HB 429 Good Policy	Contracts; authorize persons eighteen years of age or older to enter into for the purpose of investing in mutual funds.

452.	HB 452 Not Rated	Alcoholic beverages; allow holders of package retailer's permits to sell on Sunday.
		Analysis:
453.	HB 453 Bad Policy	Law enforcement officers; allow off-duty use of official vehicles while performing certain volunteer services in off-duty hours.
		Analysis: This bill indirectly increases government spending. Specifically, this bill allows taxpayer purchased law enforcement vehicles to be used for volunteer services by off-duty law enforcement. Utilization of law enforcement vehicles for off-duty activities contributes to depreciation and increases the likelihood of mechanical problems. Law enforcement vehicles are purchased with taxpayer money for a specific purpose. Donating the use of taxpayer purchased law enforcement vehicles is not sound fiscal policy and falls outside of the proper role of government.
454.	HB 454 Not Rated	ETV; Legislature not appropriate general funds to after fiscal year 2022, use funds for teacher salaries.
		Analysis:
455.	HB 455 Not Rated	Teacher licensure; provide to certain individuals with a minimum of ten years experience in public school districts or certain nonpublic schools.

		Analysis:
464.	HB 464 Neutral	Parole board; revise notification time frame given to offender's victim for offender release and remove certain prohibition.
		Analysis: This bill clarifies the language with regards to specific notification requirements regarding an offender's release. In addition, this bill could potentially lead to increased government spending as it specifically and absolutely removes the prohibition on additional salary and per diem for members of the State Parole Board. (See lines 205-207)
465.	HB 465 Not Rated	Compassionate Parole Eligibility Act of 2021; create.
		Analysis:
466.	HB 466 Neutral	Inmate Welfare Fund; require DOC to expend unused portions of the fund on reentry purposes.
		Analysis: Ideally, government should reduce its spending to eliminate “unused portions” of taxpayers' money sitting in a government account instead of in the hands of the taxpayers who earned the money. However, this bill ensures taxpayers’ money is spent in a manner consistent with the reason for its collection.
467.	HB 467 Not Rated	Officer-involved deaths; require investigation by Mississippi Bureau of Investigations.
		Analysis:
468.	HB 468 Not Rated	Bail procedures; revise.

		Analysis:
487.	HB 487 Neutral	County and public libraries; repeal certain provisions related to.
		Analysis:
488.	HB 488 Good Policy	Libraries; authorize use of debit and credit cards.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor reduces the size of government. This bill provides individuals with additional options in methods of payment available at public libraries.
489.	HB 489 Not Rated	School athletic trainers; provide annual salary supplement for those acquiring national certification.
		Analysis:
490.	HB 490 Not Rated	Law enforcement, firefighters and emergency medical technicians; provide enhanced penalties for misdemeanors, felony and shootings of unarmed victims.

		Analysis:
493.	HB 493 Bad Policy	Counties and municipalities; authorize to offer Medicare eligible employee benefits when employees secures Medicare under certain circumstances.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending by increasing the number of participants in Medicare.
494.	HB 494 Not Rated	Daylight Saving Time; observe year-round if federal law is amended to allow it.
		Analysis:
495.	HB 495 Not Rated	Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program; authorize an additional round for counties and municipalities.

		Analysis:
499.	HB 499 Neutral	Qualified equity investment tax credits; extend authority of Mississippi Development Authority to allocate.
		Analysis: This bill continues an existing tax credit for an additional three years. Ideally, government should reduce its overall spending which in turn would result in taxpayers keeping more of their own money.
500.	HB 500 Neutral	Mississippi Home Corporation; extend reverter on authority to issue a certain amount of bonds.
		Analysis:
501.	HB 501 Not Rated	Education waivers; provide for schools relative to the Statewide Testing Program; accountability ratings and Literacy-Based Promotion assessments.
		Analysis:
502.	HB 502 Not Rated	Assistant Teacher Forgivable Loan Program; revise to increase financial assistance to those pursuing teacher licensure.

503.	HB 503 Not Rated	Right to vote; restore automatically once a person has completed all sentencing requirements.
		Analysis:
504.	HB 504 Neutral	Commission on School Accreditation; clarify membership composition.
		Analysis:
505.	HB 505 Bad Policy	Mississippi Broadband Accessibility Act; create.
		Analysis: This bill expands the size of government and will inevitably lead to increased spending. The services proposed by this bill are not within the proper role of government. This bill increases government interference in the free market.
506.	HB 506 Not Rated	Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; exempt tag for supporters of Thomas E. Edwards High School from minimum purchase requirement.
		Analysis:
507.	HB 507 Not Rated	Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Pearl with construction of a bridge.
		Analysis:
508.	HB 508 Neutral	Department of Revenue; allow retiring law enforcement officer of to retain issued sidearm.
		Analysis:
509.	HB 509 Good Policy	Unemployment compensation; allow withholding of state income tax.
		Analysis: While it would probably be in the best interest of the taxpayers to not have unemployment compensation be subject to further taxes, this bill allows for the tax deduction to be made on the front end of the payment.
510.	HB 510 Neutral	Motor vehicle certificate of title; limit period for which Department of Revenue must retain.
		Analysis: While the intent of this bill seeks to decrease the amount of time the Department of Revenue is required to keep Certificate of Titles on file, the potential unintended consequences could result in decreased government efficiency involving applications to transfer one’s existing vehicle title to an Antique Auto tag which requires vehicles be at least 20 years old. When making changes to existing statute it is imperative that specific amounts of time referenced do not conflict with other section of applicable code and/or administrative rules.
511.	HB 511 Bad Policy	Amusement ride operating permit decal; revise period for issuance.
		Analysis: This bill amends the issuing period for amusement ride decals in a way that adds unnecessary restrictions to business operations. In addition, the specific changes are in direct conflict with existing language in the statute which could potentially result in increased government inefficiency. *See lines 11-12 & lines 30-32 in the Strike-Through version of the bill
512.	HB 512 Bad Policy	ABC agents/inspectors; revise certain provisions regarding powers of.
		Analysis: This bill seeks to expand the power of ABC agents by removing code wording that explicitly states that nothing in the section shall be construed as granting agents and inspectors of the alcoholic beverage control division general police powers. The current actions of ABC are already wildly beyond the intended scope of government and thus deserves to be curtailed not expanded.
513.	HB 513 Not Rated	Nonpublic schools; authorize those accredited by a regional agency to use criminal background check procedures as public schools.
		Analysis:
514.	HB 514 Good Policy	Sales tax; exempt sales of tangible personal property or services to DeafBlind Community of Mississippi, Inc.
		Analysis: This bill gives sales tax exemptions to the DeafBlind Community of Mississippi. Ideally, all Mississippi citizens would be given similar tax reductions, but this is a fine move that marginally reduces the tax authority of the state.
515.	HB 515 Not Rated	Council on the Prevention of School Shootings; create to develop center in A.G.'s office to monitor online activity.
		Analysis:
516.	HB 516 Bad Policy	Department of Revenue; allow department appraisers to receive certain pay increases upon completing certain training.
		Analysis: This is a back door attempt to approve mass pay increase for county tax assessors and their employees.
517.	HB 517 Not Rated	Mississippi Remote Worker Grant Program; create to recruit certain workers to Mississippi.
		Analysis:
518.	HB 518 Bad Policy	Department of Revenue; authorize to create wholesale to retail accountability program.
		Analysis: This bill expands the power of the Department of Revenue and forces individuals to spend more time cataloging and recording information about sales of candy, food, and nonalcoholic beverages to the DoR. In a time when small businesses are struggling, why would the state attempt to place additional burdens on individuals? Ultimately, as with so much of the legislature's focus, this is an effort to ensure that the government is taking as much money from private citizens as it can.
519.	HB 519 Good Policy	Motor vehicle license tags; remove requirement for apportioned vehicles to have decal with expiration month/year on tag.
		Analysis: This bill eliminates the requirement to physically place new decals on apportioned vehicles every year. The government should continually find new ways to reduce waste and unnecessary requirements placed on businesses and individuals.
520.	HB 520 Bad Policy	Use tax; revise certain provisions regarding funds distributed to municipalities/counties for road improvements.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government accountability by allowing municipalities/counties to accumulate debt, which is purported to be for road and bridge improvements, which utilizes future use taxes as collateral and/or guarantee of payment. Government should operate using the funds it has available.
521.	HB 521 Not Rated	DOC discharge plans; require explanation of disenfranchising crimes and opportunity for certain offenders to register to vote.
		Analysis:
522.	HB 522 Not Rated	Mental health screenings and assessments; require in all public schools.
		Analysis:
523.	HB 523 Not Rated	State Correctional Facilities Monitoring Unit; establish.
		Analysis:
524.	HB 524 Not Rated	Medical records; require health care provider to timely provide to patients after receiving request for.
		Analysis:
525.	HB 525 Bad Policy	Corrections omnibus bill; enact.
		Analysis: This bill changes an immense amount of code section. Numerous, detailed changes in code sections more often than not result in unintended consequences, some of which can be crippling to the efficiency of government agencies and departments. Omnibus bills in general are bad policy. Representatives and Senators are faced with either voting for bad things in these huge bills to get the few good things in them or voting against the few good things because of all the bad things. Just as our founding documents were written, our state laws should also be written and constructed in a manner in which the average individual with a basic knowledge of civics and who is moderately engaged in the goings-on their state government can read, interpret, and gain a healthy understanding with the need for input from a lawyer, scholar, or government official.
526.	HB 526 Not Rated	Bonds; authorize issuance to provide funds to school districts for vocational education improvements.
		Analysis:
527.	HB 527 Not Rated	Sales tax; exempt sales of tangible personal property or services to Itawamba Crossroads Ranch, Inc.

		Analysis:
535.	HB 535 Not Rated	Hypodermic syringes or needles; unlawful to sell, obtain, purchase or possess as a direct consumer without a written prescription.
		Analysis:
536.	HB 536 Bad Policy	Mississippi Department of Employment Security; revise various provisions regarding authority of.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending and encourages government dependence in a program that functions outside the proper role of government. This bill changes the definition of unemployment to provide payments to individuals who are receiving reduced voluntary payments in lieu of their standard weekly wage, as well individuals who do not work a specified number of hours each week resulting in inconsistent weekly wages. The latter could include nearly any individual working part-time in the food service sector. This bill has the serious potential to result in an insurmountable surge of unemployment benefit applications.
537.	HB 537 Not Rated	Cell phones and certain other contraband; provide enhanced penalities for offenders and correctional employees.
		Analysis:
538.	HB 538 Not Rated	'Criminal endangerment of a child'; create crime of.
		Analysis:
539.	HB 539 Bad Policy	Career and technical education; revise curriculum, instructor license requirements and certain assessments.
		Analysis: This bill expands existing government-run education beyond its already improper role. This bill creates new broad and extremely vague topics as requirements for schools to incorporate into the curriculum of their career track programs, including but not limited to “social graces" and “cognitive and emotional empathy.” (See lines 298-302) Not only does this bill place additional burdens on schools to meet these requirements which will inevitably lead to increased spending, but this bill also adds specific course requirements to career track programs which decreases students’ ability to tailor their course work to the career areas they are pursuing. This bill, whether intentional or not, will do more harm than good. **This bill also brings code section relating to dual enrollment.

572.	HB 572 Neutral	Alcoholic beverages; revise definition of 'qualified resort area' under the Local Option Alcoholic Beverage Control Law.
		Analysis: This bill expands the alcohol market within the existing, state-controlled system. However, this bill also brings forward all applicable code sections relating to the establishment of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division of the Department of Revenue for possible amendment and contains a reverse repealer. Our legislators should use this opportunity to dismantle and ultimately abolish the ABC. Government should not hold a monopoly on alcohol in our state.
573.	HB 573 Good Policy	Bridges and culverts; revise laws regarding.
		Analysis: This bill more succinctly identifies requirements for the building of bridges and culverts. Laws should be written in a manner that is easily understood using common language.

		Analysis:
579.	HB 579 Bad Policy	Motor carrier regulation; update and streamline.
		Analysis: This bill decreases government accountability and transparency by removing the requirement for a public hearing regarding proposed routes of transportation by applicants. While government should reduce its interference in the free market to the furthest extent possible, the structure of our state government as it currently exists utilizes the Transportation Commission to perform specific functions. One such function is to hold public hearings regarding proposed routes of transportation for commercial carriers. This bill seeks to remove that requirements and designate as discretionary. This action would reduce government transparency in the decision-making process and limit individuals' ability to address their government on this issue.

		Analysis:
631.	HB 631 Bad Policy	Law enforcement; allow off-duty use of official vehicles while performing security services in off-duty hours.
		Analysis: This bill indirectly increases government spending and improperly allocates resources. Law enforcement vehicles are purchased with taxpayer money.

		Analysis:
634.	HB 634 Neutral	Firearms restriction; limit those by cities, counties and state agencies.
		Analysis: This bill adds protection of individuals’ right to keep and bear arms by specifically prohibiting state agencies from adopting rules, regulations, or policies and from entering into contracts or rental agreement that restrict the possession, carrying, transportation, sale, transfer or ownership of firearms, or ammunition or their components. However, this bill reduces individual liberty by instituting protections for junior colleges and universities from civil suits and protection for board members from civil liability from claims filed by current enhanced carry licensees adversely affected by prohibitions from legally carrying firearms. (See lines 86 – 89) In addition, this bill contains language that reduces transparency by removing the requirement to post written notice on the door of a facility in which firearms are prohibited. This policy change could potentially lead to people violating a facility's policy regarding concealed firearms without even knowing it. (See lines 558 – 560) In a literal interpretation of the text of the bill, the word "OR" before "authorizing" effectually makes the written notice posted on the door optional.

		Analysis:
638.	HB 638 Good Policy	Alcoholic beverages; revise various provisions relating to distilleries.
		Analysis: This bill increases individual liberty to operate in a flawed system. This bill expands the ability of distilleries to sell on-premises; however, it maintains the government monopoly on wholesale alcoholic beverage in the state of Mississippi. This is not the proper role of government. Individuals should be free to participate in the free market to the fullest extent possible, and the only role the government should play in this is to protect and preserve individuals freedom and liberty and, in all other things, get out of the way.

		Analysis:
928.	HB 928 Neutral	Commissioner of Corrections and community corrections; bring forward various sections relating to.
		Analysis: This bill in its current form does not change existing law. However, this bill brings forward code section allowing for amendments to be made at a later time. This process reduces government transparency, provides an avenue for bad legislation to go unchecked until the very end of the legislative process, and reduces citizens' representation in decision-making through their elected representatives as active participation in this process is often limited to a select few members of the Legislature appointed to serve on conference committees. This action requires greater scrutiny of this bill and may result in its policy rating being changed as this bill moves through the legislative process.
929.	HB 929 Neutral	Reentry for offenders; bring forward certain sections relating to.
		Analysis: This bill in its current form does not change existing law. However, this bill brings forward code section allowing for amendments to be made at a later time.

		Analysis: This bill makes only the required changes to existing law to bring state law into compliance with federal law.
933.	HB 933 Good Policy	Child support payment; suspend obligation to pay when the person to pay is incarcerated.
		Analysis: This bill encourages parents to fulfill their obligations to their children by preventing undue, and often insurmountable, burdens on incarcerated, non-custodial parents. This policy institutes common sense measures to freeze child support obligations while incarcerated which is in keeping with civil judgments that would be granted in times in extenuating circumstances. Upon release, formerly incarcerated non-custodial parents will begin fulfilling their obligations rather than face immediate return to jail for non-payment of child support, which further delays children and custodial parents from receiving court-ordered support. This bill disrupts the government-created recidivism of formerly incarcerated non-custodial parents caught in a bureaucratic roundabout.
934.	HB 934 Not Rated	Eminent domain; require compensation for loss of business goodwill and value of commercial farm operations.
		Analysis:

		Analysis: This bill restricts individual liberty by removing private property protections. The proper role of government is to preserve and defend individuals’ right to property. This bill allows third party contractors to access private property without the need for permission from the property owner.

		Analysis:
953.	HB 953 Good Policy	Homeowners' associations; regulate managing agents of and require financial reviews by.
		Analysis: This bill maintains the proper role of state government. All political subdivisions within the jurisdiction of a state are subject to state authority. The Founders addressed the national government and state governments only. Therefore, it is incumbent upon a state government, in order to fulfill the role for which it was created, to ensure all political subdivisions with its jurisdiction, which includes homeowners’ associations, are accountable for the provision of services and functions for which they were created. Homeowners’ associations elect their board members and operate under bylaws akin to the manner in which municipal governments operate. This bill establishes clear, common sense guidelines outlining procedures for the handling of homeowners’ money to ensure accountability and transparency without added government intrusion or interference in the association’s day-to-day activities or increased burdens on operation.

		Analysis:
992.	HB 992 Neutral	County port and harbor commission; provide that members hold appointment until successor appointed and installed.

		Analysis:
997.	HB 997 Good Policy	Alcoholic beverages; remove DOR from being wholesale distributor, authorize issuance of wholesaler's permits.
		Analysis: This bill dismantles the state's monopoly on wholesale alcohol distribution within its borders. This action is a positive move toward free market principles. It also converts its “markup” (which is thought of as the “profit”) of 27.5% to a tax of 18% on the gross proceeds of private wholesalers. All other taxes on alcohol will remain.This tax is still too high and is in addition to existing excise taxes already levied on these goods. The fee prescribed by this bill for the new wholesaler’s permit is $5,000. (See line 925)
998.	HB 998 Not Rated	Law Enforcement Supplemental Pay Program; create.
		Analysis:
999.	HB 999 Not Rated	Agencies; require to provide monthly report of expenditures of state and federal public funds.

1007.	HB 1007 Not Rated	Medicaid; bring forward provider assessment provisions.
		Analysis:
1008.	HB 1008 Bad Policy	Medicaid; make technical amendments to services, manage care and assessment provisions.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending. This bill also brings forward code sections for amending at a later time. This policy reduces government transparency and accountability.
1009.	HB 1009 Not Rated	Deputy sheriffs and police officers; require certain courses for continuing education.
		Analysis:
1010.	HB 1010 Not Rated	Hospitals; authorize cooperative agreements among that are regulated and immune from antitrust laws.
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
1012.	HB 1012 Good Policy	Charitable solicitations; revise provisions relating to notice, demand and service of process.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government power and authority to review previous donors to charitable organizations in determining their status as such in the state of Mississippi. In addition, this bill increases government accountability by eliminating vague language that could result in, whether intentional or not, application of statutory definitions that are not consistent with the original intent of the legislation. Government should continually work to clarify existing statutes to prevent inconsistent interpretation of law and always be extremely cautious and proactive when drafting new legislation to ensure it is written using clear and concise language.
1013.	HB 1013 Bad Policy	Medicaid; create Medicaid Commission to administer program and abolish Division of Medicaid.
		Analysis: This bill removes checks and balances currently in place to review all actions in one of the largest budget categories in state government. The Constitution does not obligate the states or the federal government to pay for medical expenses, even for the health care needs of poor persons. *Maher v. Roe, 432 U.S. 464, 469 (1977). See also Youngberg v. Romeo, 457 U.S. 307, 317 (1982). In light of the fact that our state voluntarily chooses to use taxpayer money to pay for health care services of others outside of the proper role of government, it is imperative that every effort is made to eliminate unnecessary spending, increase accountability, and promote individuals’ access to the free market. This bill expands the size of government by re- creating an old commission and granting it sole authority over the multi-billion dollar Medicaid budget similar in nature and function as the existing Board of Education. We all know how well that works. . .
1014.	HB 1014 Not Rated	DUI; revise violations of.

		Analysis:
1030.	HB 1030 Bad Policy	'Mississippi Intercollegiate Athletics Compensation Rights Act'; enact.
		Analysis: This bill establishes irresponsible fiscal policy by forbidding reevaluation of a student's or student's family's income to determine continued eligibility for grants-in-aid to the student awarded based on financial need. (See lines 217 – 223) This policy establishes unequal access to education by raising student-athletes above the standards and requirements put in place for all college students when determining eligibility for aid money.
1031.	HB 1031 Not Rated	Medicaid; provide certain requirements for reimbursement for telemedicine services provided by FQHCs and RHCs.
		Analysis:
1032.	HB 1032 Not Rated	Medicaid; exempt durable medical equipment from 5% reduction in provider reimbursement rates.

		Analysis:
1036.	HB 1036 Good Policy	Driver's license; exempt active duty military, spouse and dependent children if they have valid license from their home state.
		Analysis: This bill removes unnecessary and burdensome restrictions on activities of individuals. This bill specifically allows for reciprocity of drivers’ licenses for military spouses and dependent children. Government should remove unnecessary restrictions and work to preserve individual freedom to the fullest extent possible.
1037.	HB 1037 Not Rated	Mississippi Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide Act; enact.

		Analysis:
1047.	HB 1047 Neutral	Nationally certified licensed school employees; delete caps on nurses and speech pathologists and add athletic trainers for salary supplements.
		Analysis: This bill enables salary incentives for increased education and training attainment by certain individuals employed in our public schools. Government should work to find innovative spending policies focused on performance.
1048.	HB 1048 Neutral	Qualification deadline; change to February 1 for certain statewide, state district, county and county district offices.

		Analysis:
1063.	HB 1063 Bad Policy	Transformative renewable energy projects; authorize boards of supervisors to designate as such for certain tax purposes.
		Analysis: This bill interferes in the free market and manipulates the energy market to create more favorable conditions for one sector or another. This is not the proper role of government. Reduction in the amount of taxes government collects is positive; however, the negative consequences of market manipulation far outweigh the positives produced by this bill.
1064.	HB 1064 Not Rated	Counties and municipalities; authorize establishment of summer youth work programs.
		Analysis:
1065.	HB 1065 Not Rated	Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; increase number that may be issued to a person who is a recipient of the Purple Heart Medal.

1074.	HB 1074 Not Rated	State employees; provide for pay raise based on the amount of their annual salaries.
		Analysis:
1075.	HB 1075 Bad Policy	MS Credit Availability Act, Title Pledge Act, and Check Cashers Act; extend or remove repealer on certain provisions of.
		Analysis: This bill expands the scope of government authority beyond its proper role and limits individual freedom and liberty to engage in the free exchange of goods and services. This bill reenacts code sections and extends the effective date of the legislation through 2026. Government should not preemptively interfere in the private business activities of individuals.
1076.	HB 1076 Neutral	Retailer Tax Fairness Act; create.
		Analysis: This bill attempts to rectify an issue created by government passage of the numerous, improper local sales taxes. Government should tax only for proper, core functions. Many, if not all, of these local sales taxes fund spending on projects, programs, and services that are not within the proper role of government. Businesses located in the many areas in our state with these improper local sales taxes are currently charged increased processing fees on sales because these taxes are incorrectly included in the totals and are not set aside as state taxes are. As such, even though this bill creates new law that intercedes in private business transactions, this bill is not expanding the scope and authority of government in negative way.
1077.	HB 1077 Good Policy	Open account; revise definition and require account creditor to send demand to current address of account debtor through certain means.
		Analysis: This bill clarifies existing statute concerning the manner in which an individual or entity obtains a debt owed. This bill prescribes the manner in which notice must be given, which ensures consistency of not only the process but also in civil actions resulting from non-payment. This bill preserves the free exchange of goods and services and does not expand government authority.
1078.	HB 1078 Good Policy	Perpetual care and preneed cemetery and funeral laws; unlawful to make false or misleading statements in records under.
		Analysis: This bill enables the government to more effectively perform one of its primary functions, public safety. The bill provides a statutory mechanism to insure those entrusted with the most sacred of duties, honoring our past loved ones, are held accountable in the event they betray the public trust through either false or misleading statements or omissions that lead to the representation of false or misleading information.
1079.	HB 1079 Not Rated	Expungement; revise list of eligible crimes.

		Analysis:
1091.	HB 1091 Neutral	Light wine, light spirit product and beer; authorize microbreweries and revise various sections of law.
		Analysis: This bill adds additional categories of businesses to the state’s existing statutes, which expands regulated access resulting in the appearance of increased individual freedom. However, this bill simply expands the scope of the existing flawed system regulating alcohol in the state of Mississippi. Government should eliminate the regulations currently in place concerning alcohol in our state. The proper role of government is to protect individuals’ ability to participate in the free market.
1092.	HB 1092 Not Rated	Medicaid; increase reimbursement rate for preventative dental services for 3 fiscal years.

		Analysis:
1095.	HB 1095 Bad Policy	Department of Revenue; authorize to compromise and settle certain tax liabilities.
		Analysis: This bill expands the power of government to collect tax liabilities it otherwise has been unable to collect. This bill also expands individual liberty by specifying that the Department of Revenue is authorized to compromise with individuals regarding their past due tax liabilities. Unfortunately, specific language in this bill severely limits individual liberty by removing statute of limitations protections in cases of misrepresentation, “whether intentionally or not.” (See lines 39-42) This bill currently has an amendment to add a reverse repealer waiting to be passed by the House floor. Therefore, the rating of this bill is subject to change as it moves through the legislative process.
1096.	HB 1096 Not Rated	Medicaid; bring forward services, managed care and provider assessment provisions.

		Analysis:
1123.	HB 1123 Bad Policy	Early Learning Collaborative Act of 2013; revise funding and specify teaching standards.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending. A child's education, especially small children in their early stages of learning, is first and foremost the responsibility of parents. Expanding “Early Learning” is not fiscally responsible at this time. Furthermore, government should work to encourage family cohesion and parental responsibility not continually expand programs that provide safety nets for individuals’ choices.
1124.	HB 1124 Not Rated	Legislative vacancy; revise procedure to fill.
		Analysis:
1125.	HB 1125 Not Rated	Schools; provide for mental health services providers and trauma informed training.

		Analysis:
1135.	HB 1135 Neutral	Alcoholic beverages; create delivery service permit.
		Analysis: This bill creates a new permit under the state’s existing statutes, which expands regulated access resulting in the appearance of increased individual freedom. However, this bill simply expands the scope of the existing flawed system regulating alcohol in the state of Mississippi. Government should eliminate the regulations currently in place concerning alcohol in our state. The proper role of government is to protect individuals’ ability to participate in the free market.
1136.	HB 1136 Bad Policy	Mississippi Educational Talent Recruitment Act; create.
		Analysis: This bill expands the scope of government beyond its proper role and increases wasteful spending of taxpayer money on private business. Specifically, this bill creates a program to subsidize private companies up to $25,000 to hire recruiting services to find potential employees who live in other states. This bill also creates an improper government program to provide a $5,000 grant for college graduates to purchase a home. In addition to several other improper uses of taxpayer money, this bill also creates a $1,200 tax deduction for an out-of-state teleworker to pay for broadband.
1137.	HB 1137 Not Rated	Ad valorem tax; revise certain provisions regarding the determination of true value of land used for agricultural purposes.
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
1139.	HB 1139 Good Policy	Income, sales and use taxes; remove requirement that certain taxpayers pay June tax liability on or before June 25.
		Analysis: This bill increases government accountability by removing a statutory pre-payment month instituted by the Legislature several years ago to fill a budget deficit. This bill returns the due date of tax liability in our state for the month of June to its pre-existing, consistent date in line with the due date for each month throughout the year.
1140.	HB 1140 Bad Policy	First-degree murder; include unlawful distribution of controlled substances, when the distribution is proximate cause of death.
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
1142.	HB 1142 Bad Policy	Construction; revise contractor's tax regarding certain, require permits in counties/municipalities with construction codes.
		Analysis: This bill expands the scope and authority of government beyond its proper role and places additional regulations, restrictions, and fees on individuals and reduces their ability to freely participate in the marketplace. Government should reduce its interference in the free market.
1143.	HB 1143 Not Rated	Appropriation; Health Department to provide epi-pens and AEDs in IHLs, community colleges and schools.
		Analysis:
1144.	HB 1144 Not Rated	Income tax; provide a credit for taxpayers who claim a federal earned income tax credit.

		Analysis:
1159.	HB 1159 Not Rated	Municipal annexation; provide that an election shall be held on the question of.
		Analysis:
1160.	HB 1160 Neutral	Dual Credit Community College Scholarship Program; create.
		Analysis: This bill has the potential to increase spending, but it does not mandate increased spending. This bill establishes a special fund scholarship program; however, the continued operation of the program is dependent upon Legislative appropriation. If no money is appropriated the program is suspended. (See lines 102 – 103)
1161.	HB 1161 Not Rated	Mississippi Law Enforcement Interaction Course Act; enact for implementation in public school curriculum.

		Analysis:
1174.	HB 1174 Neutral	Department of Corrections; authorize to provide for hospice care services to inmates with a terminal illness.
		Analysis: This bill removes unnecessary restrictions to the proper functioning of the Department of Corrections as it relates to providing care for terminally ill inmates. Government should, when possible, remove unnecessary restrictions on its own ability to effectively and efficiently operate in its proper role.
1175.	HB 1175 Not Rated	Patriot Guard Act; create.
		Analysis:
1176.	HB 1176 Not Rated	Presidential election; prohibit release of popular vote until after meeting of electors in the states.

		Analysis:
1181.	HB 1181 Neutral	The MS Registered Agents Act; revise to include 'email address.'

		Analysis:
1195.	HB 1195 Neutral	Electric bicycles; regulate.
		Analysis: While this bill does create new regulations, this bill as a whole restricts government authority regarding the use of electric bicycles. Government should reduce regulations and limit intrusion in and restrictions on activities of individuals.

		Analysis:
1205.	HB 1205 Bad Policy	Telemedicine; revise definition for provisions of law regarding coverage for telemedicine services.
		Analysis: This bill interferes with free market principles in the healthcare sector. This bill eliminates the ability to use FaceTime, Skype or Zoom to do telemedicine by including the words “HIPAA- compliant" in the definition. (See line 38) This is a step backward. During the current pandemic especially, we need to open up telemedicine in line with the positive changes being made by the federal government in regards to regulation reform and removal of barriers to access. Unfortunately, this bill does the opposite. Minus “HIPAA-Compliant" which is unnecessary on its face as privacy protection is an obligation of the medical provider not the telecommunications system, this bill would be Good Policy that would move Mississippi in a better direction toward greater healthcare access for all citizens.

		Analysis:
1213.	HB 1213 Good Policy	State Personnel Board; require exempted agencies' reports to include quantifiable data and to be sent to SPB, PEER and LBO.
		Analysis: This bill increases government accountability and transparency and could potentially reduce government spending. This bill adds the requirement of quantifiable data to the contents of reports produced by exempted agencies and adds the Joint Legislative Budget Office and PEER to the list of required recipients of such reports.
1214.	HB 1214 Not Rated	Charter schools; reconstitute authorizer board and require formula to ensure equitable distribution of local funds.

		Analysis:
1231.	HB 1231 Bad Policy	Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund; create.
		Analysis: This bill, in its amended form, expands the size of government by creating a special fund for purposes outside the proper role of government and a new government board for the management of money taken from Mississippi taxpayers. In addition, this bill increases government spending by authorizing per diem for board members. Government should reduce its overall spending and not create new ways to funnel taxpayer money from the state’s general fund to earmarked programs. This bill is a clear example of putting lipstick on pork projects and calling them conservation projects.
1232.	HB 1232 Not Rated	Hinds County; authorize assessments on convictions/nonadjudications to repair pre-trial detention centers and courthouses.
		Analysis:
1233.	HB 1233 Not Rated	Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Town of Fayette with improvements to Main Street.

		Analysis:
1245.	HB 1245 Neutral	MDOT; require maintenance of rights-of-way of state highways inside municipal limits with 10,000 or less population.
		Analysis: This bill specifies the responsible party for maintenance of state highways inside specific municipal limits. While the government should seek to reduce overall spending, essential core functions of government must be maintained. These functions include the maintenance of our roads and their rights-of-way to ensure the safety of our citizens. The responsible party for performing this core function should be the state as the specific rights-of-way addressed in this bill are on state highways.
1246.	HB 1246 Not Rated	Capitol Complex Improvement District; authorize demolition of slum and blighted properties located within.

1247.	HB 1247 Not Rated	Sheriffs and police officers; require availability of less-lethal force option while on duty.

1250.	HB 1250 Not Rated	Fresh Start Act; revise certain portions of.
		Analysis:
1251.	HB 1251 Bad Policy	Mississippi Workers' Compensation Commission; return to a special fund agency.
		Analysis: This bill reestablishes the Worker’s Compensation Commission as a special fund agency. This action reverses the 2016 legislation aimed at increasing government accountability and transparency, which eliminated nearly all special funding of government agencies and departments.
1252.	HB 1252 Good Policy	Public Service Commission; provide certain requirements regarding public proceedings and information.
		Analysis: This bill increases government transparency and accountability by requiring webcasts and archives of webcasts of Public Service Commission meetings and that all proceedings be transcribed. This bill could also potentially lead to increased government efficiency and reduction of unnecessary restrictions and regulations as the Public Service Commissioners will most certainly be more cognizant in their actions knowing that all meetings will be transcribed and archived.
1253.	HB 1253 Bad Policy	Construction management at risk method of project delivery; revise certain provisions related to.
		Analysis: This bill combines two bills. The first deals with construction management at risk. This portion of the bill adds a new category to the list of the types of projects for which the Department of Transportation can seek bids for contracted work. The second part of the bill is copied verbatim from HB 539, which is a Career and Technical Education bill. This portion of the bill expands existing government-run education beyond its already improper role. This bill creates new broad and extremely vague topics as requirements for schools to incorporate into the curriculum of their career track programs, including but not limited to “social graces" and “cognitive and emotional empathy.” (See lines 298-302) Not only does this bill place additional burdens on schools to meet these requirements which will inevitably lead to increased spending, but this bill also adds specific course requirements to career track programs which decreases students’ ability to tailor their course work to the career areas they are pursuing. This bill, whether intentional or not, will do more harm than good.

1284.	HB 1284 Bad Policy	Department of Revenue License Tag Acquisition Fund; revise certain provisions regarding.
		Analysis: This bill decreases government accountability and transparency by removing the requirement that the Department of Revenue License Tag Acquisition Fund receive an appropriation from the Legislature for its operations and moves this fund back to a special fund agency. This action is a reversal of the 2016 legislation enacted to streamline the funding process and increase accountability and transparency in government spending. By returning this fund to a special fund agency status, expenditures will not have direct oversight by the Legislature. Appropriation is a core function of the Legislature, the authority of which should not be ceded to agency and department heads who not accountable to the people of Mississippi.

		Analysis:
1297.	HB 1297 Bad Policy	Bonds; authorize issuance for the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund.
		Analysis: This bill increases state government debt. This bill states the “necessity for the issuance of bonds only in the amount necessary to match projected federal funds available through the following federal fiscal year.” Government should not increase the state's debt based on projected federal funds. All government funds are taxpayers’ money. Policies such as this place debts not only on current taxpayers but also on future generations.

		Analysis:
1301.	HB 1301 Good Policy	Career and technical education; revise curriculum, instructor license requirements and certain assessments.
		Analysis: This bill returns career and technical education to our state’s public schools in a meaningful way. This bill promotes individual liberty for our public school students by giving public school students viable options to pursue instead of the one-size-fits-all approach. This bill also decreases inefficiency in education bureaucracy by creating a statutory procedure to bring individuals who are skilled in trades and experienced in various professions into our public school classroom as licensed educators. Ideally parents should be in charge of their children’s education, but one cannot deny that public schools serve an integral role in the potential prosperity of our posterity. This bill provides much needed improvements in our state’s public education system to expand our state’s skilled labor force and provide students with skills for life. **This bill also brings forward code section relating to dual enrollment, which requires greater scrutiny of this bill as it moves through the legislative process. The rating of this bill is subject to change.
1302.	HB 1302 Good Policy	Optometry; Board shall define practice of, and authorize to perform certain procedures and use and prescribe certain drugs.
		Analysis: This bill encourages increased participation in the healthcare market by removing restrictions on specifics services provided by optometrists. The government should remove restrictions and regulations where possible. Individual freedom to participate in the marketplace should be preserved to the fullest extent possible.
1303.	HB 1303 Good Policy	Advanced practice registered nurses; revise certain provisions relating to, including collaboration requirement.
		Analysis: This bill removes barriers to healthcare access and encourages increased participation in the healthcare market. The government should remove restrictions and regulations where possible. Individual freedom to participate in the marketplace should be preserved to the fullest extent possible.

		Analysis:
1312.	HB 1312 Neutral	State Board of Cosmetology; extend repealer on.
		Analysis: This bill expands the scope of government authority. This bill not only extends the life of a board that interferes in Mississippians' participation in the free market both as consumers and suppliers, causing undue burdens on individuals in our state attempting to positively contribute to the overall strength of our state’s economy as well as provide for themselves and their families, but this bill also adds additional categories of services to the list of services over which the State Board of Cosmetology claims authority. This policy is not in line with the proper role of government and is not necessary to preserve the safety and health of our citizens. This bill does the opposite by depressing individuals’ ability to simply earn a living.
1313.	HB 1313 Neutral	State Board of Funeral Service; extend repealer on.
		Analysis: This bill maintains an existing board of which its function, if preserved at all, should be drastically reduced to only necessary services within the proper role of government. Such services should be provided by an applicable existing government agency or department, such as the Department of Health.
1314.	HB 1314 Bad Policy	Architects; revise licensing laws to authorize multi-disciplinary firms with landscape architects and interior designers.
		Analysis: This bill expands government authority and reduces individual freedom and liberty to participate in the free exchange of goods and services. This bill adds landscape architects and interior designers to our state’s already exhaustive list of occupations under state purview. This language of this bill is extremely crafty and yet dangerously vague. This bill appears to indirectly require landscape architects and interior designers working in our state to either work with or hold themselves a certificate to practice architecture. The legal-ease of this bill alone institutes a new, unnecessary restriction on working individuals in our state.
1315.	HB 1315 Good Policy	Occupational licenses; repeal those for art therapists, auctioneers, interior designers, wigologists and massage therapists.

		Analysis: This bill preserves individuals’ privacy and potentially increases the efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement activities focused on human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children. *This bill also brings forward an additional code section with no changes in this bill in its current form.

		Analysis:
1326.	HB 1326 Good Policy	Compact for a Balanced Budget; revise delegate membership and extend sunset provision.
		Analysis: This bill establishes an interstate compact among Alaska, Georgia, Mississippi and North Dakota. The compact's goal is to pressure the federal government to add an amendment to the United States Constitution that would require Congress to pass budgets with particular rules. The compact authors hope that, if enough states adopt the compact, it would fast-track an eventual amendment that would ideally be passed by April 2021. In addition to the four states currently in the compact, compact supporters have targeted 24 other states to ratify the compact. This compact will also require congressional consent before it can be ratified.
1327.	HB 1327 Good Policy	State of emergency; provide a maximum time period for and authorize Department of Health to store dead bodies if necessary.

		Analysis:
1338.	HB 1338 Bad Policy	City of Vicksburg; authorize contributions to American Legion Auxiliary Girls State Program.
		Analysis: This is a clear abuse of power and it is, in effect, socialized charity. The giving of money to charities and nonprofits should be a personal decision made by the taxpayer. If local governments have enough money to give to charities they should seek to cut taxes instead. Also many municipalities give money to charities and nonprofits and in the same year ask the legislature to approve bonds on their behalf, this means that all Mississippians now pay for the local governments obsessive and abusive spending.
1339.	HB 1339 Bad Policy	City of Vicksburg; authorize contributions to Storehouse Community Food Pantry.

1350.	HB 1350 Bad Policy	City of Ripley; extend repeal date on hotel/motel and restaurant tax.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government accountability by maintaining a “temporary” tax beyond the specified termination date approved by voters upon its implementation.
1351.	HB 1351 Bad Policy	Bonds; increase amount that may be issued for the Local Governments and Rural Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund.
		Analysis: This bill increases state government debt and reduces government accountability by authorizing an increase in the amount of state obligation bonds for projects within local governments and rural water systems. State government should not spend taxpayer money, especially taxpayer money it does not currently possess, on projects that it has no authority to audit. Neither local governments nor rural water systems fall under the authority of Mississippi’s State Auditor. This bill is irresponsible fiscal policy and will inevitably lead to additional burdens on future generations of Mississippians.

1354.	HB 1354 Bad Policy	Bonds; authorize issuance for improvements to Port of Vicksburg.
		Analysis: The city of Vicksburg has 5 local and private bills seeking to give over $300,000 of taxpayer dollars to charities and nonprofits and yet they are asking the state to bond 3 million dollars in this bill for port improvements. This is a gross abuse of power by the city of Vicksburg which seems to have money to give away yet it seeks to burden all the taxpayers of Mississippi by borrowing money that they could simply appropriate from existing funds.
1355.	HB 1355 Bad Policy	Bonds; authorize issuance for acquiring and renovating property to house Hinds CC Maritime Training Center in Vicksburg.
		Analysis: The city of Vicksburg has 5 local and private bills seeking to give over $300,000 of taxpayer dollars to charities and nonprofits and yet they are asking the state to bond 1 million dollars in this bill for a maritime training center. This is a gross abuse of power by the city of Vicksburg which seems to have money to give away yet it seeks to burden all the taxpayers of Mississippi by borrowing money that they could simply appropriate from existing funds.

Also many municipalities give money to charities and nonprofits and in the same year ask the legislature to approve bonds on their behalf, this means that all Mississippians now pay for the local governments obsessive and abusive spending.
1359.	HB 1359 Bad Policy	City of Vicksburg; authorize to execute certain agreement to make contributions to Vicksburg Warren Economic Development Foundation.

1360.	HB 1360 Bad Policy	Appropriation; additional for the Department of Marine Resources for Fiscal Year 2021.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending and decreases accountability. This bill adds an additional $2,000,000 to last year's budget for the Department of Marine resources with limited explanation as to the specific need for this additional money appropriated outside of the appropriation process for last year's budget.

1416.	HB 1416 Bad Policy	Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive Act: create.
		Analysis: This bill creates a new tax incentive program for businesses to offset their state tax liabilities. In general, government should reduce its overall tax burden on businesses operating in our state. However, this bill outlines very specific criteria for program eligibility. In addition, this bill reduces government transparency and accountability by explicitly stating that subcategories and breakouts are not subject to Mississippi's Public Records Act regarding their participation in this incentive program. Agreements in this incentive program made by the Research Center division of the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning and the University Research Center division of the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning are also exempted from disclosure. (See lines 1597 – 1618) Understandably public disclosure of research materials could, in some instances, be of concern; however, this bill removes public disclosure requirements regarding certain financial aspects. Government should reduce complexity in navigating records and increase transparency to ensure citizens have full confidence in government programs that cherry-picking businesses to be afforded special tax incentive while excluding the fast majority of businesses in our state.
