7.	HB 73 Neutral	Chiropractors; extend repealer on licensure law.

		Analysis:
9.	HB 82 Bad Policy	Community or junior colleges; authorize to administer construction contracts of $1,000,000.00 or less, and exempt certain oversight.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government transparency and accountability by removing authority and oversight of bond funds. Government should preserve its proper functions necessary to verify government spending is efficient. 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.
10.	HB 87 Bad Policy	MDHS fraud investigators; provide they shall be law enforcement officers.
		Analysis: This bill expands the size and scope of government, decreases government accountability and transparency, and reduces individual freedom. This bill creates a new executive, law enforcement department by changing requirements for MDHS fraud investigators and expands government authority and power beyond its proper role. This bill goes far beyond the confines of simply investigating fraud by granting MDHS fraud investigators pre-emptive authority. (See line 20)
11.	HB 95 Neutral	Nursing home administrators; delete repealer on licensure requirements for and authorize board to conduct background checks.
		Analysis: The government should eliminate unnecessary licensure requirements. Such requirements place restrictions on individual freedom and liberty and discourage free markets.

12.	HB 100 Neutral	MS Telephone Solicitation Act; extend repealer on requirement that fees be deposited into State General Fund.
		Analysis:
13.	HB 104 Neutral	Board of Supervisors of Hancock County; revise salary of attorney hired to prosecute cases for county.

14.	HB 106 Bad Policy	State budget; revise provisions in several FY21 appropriation bills.
		Analysis: This bill makes specific changes to numerous FY21 appropriations from Special Fund sources. Special Funds contribute significantly to cronyism and a reduction of transparency and accountability in government.
15.	HB 109 Neutral	State budget; enact and revise various provisions relating to.
		Analysis: This bill removes language that is no longer applicable and preserves the sound policy of 98% allocation of the general funds for this fiscal year.
16.	HB 119 Bad Policy	Harper's Grace Law; extend repealer on authority to research and dispense cannabidiol (CBD oil) for medical purposes.
		Analysis: This bill was amended in the Senate to include language related to a medical marijuana program besides the one chosen by Mississippians.

		Analysis:
19.	HB 160 Neutral	State Department of Health and State Board of Health; extend repealer on.
		Analysis: The government should eliminate unnecessary licensure requirements. Such requirements place restrictions on individual freedom and liberty and discourage free markets. The proper role of government is to preserve individual freedom and liberty to the fullest extent possible while insuring the safety of its citizens.
20.	HB 189 Neutral	Mississippi Persian Gulf War Memorial; authorize MSVA to move to another appropriate location.
		Analysis: This bill does not allocate funds nor specify a new memorial location. While the government should acknowledge and honor those who serve to preserve freedom and liberty, this bill indicates the probability that previous legislation authorizing the placement of this memorial should have been more thoroughly vetted prior to passage in an effort to prevent a situation such as this.
21.	HB 196 Good Policy	'Dignity for Incarcerated Women Act'; create.
		Analysis: This bill protects life, both the life of the mother and of the baby. One of the core functions of government is to protect life. 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.
22.	HB 200 Good Policy	Remote patient monitoring services; delete requirement of 2 recent hospitalizations to qualify for.
		Analysis: This bill promotes individual freedom by removing unnecessary restrictions on doctors. The doctor – patient relationship should not be dictated by overreaching regulations and unnecessary restrictions. The government should limit interference in healthcare and preserve individual freedom to the fullest extent possible.
23.	HB 208 Neutral	Psychologists; extend repealer on licensure law and remove postdoctoral training requirements for licensure.
		Analysis: The government should eliminate unnecessary licensure requirements. Such requirements place restrictions on individual freedom and liberty and discourage free markets. The proper role of government is to preserve individual freedom while ensuring the safety of its citizens.
24.	HB 277 Good Policy	Tribal identification cards; recognize as legal means of personal identification.
		Analysis:
25.	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)
26.	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.
27.	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.
28.	HB 341 Not Rated	Motor carrier safety improvements; prohibit consideration of deployment of in determining an individual's employment status with motor carrier.
		Analysis:
29.	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.
30.	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.
31.	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.
32.	HB 357 Neutral	Bonding requirement for county purchase clerk; increase.
		Analysis:
33.	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.
34.	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.
35.	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.
36.	HB 424 Neutral	Memorial highways; designate.
		Analysis:
37.	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.
38.	HB 429 Good Policy	Contracts; authorize persons eighteen years of age or older to enter into for the purpose of investing in mutual funds.
		Analysis: This bill increases individual liberty to participate in the investment market. This policy encourages individual responsibility toward personal financial freedom.
39.	HB 487 Neutral	County and public libraries; repeal certain provisions related to.
		Analysis:
40.	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.
41.	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.
42.	HB 500 Neutral	Mississippi Home Corporation; extend reverter on authority to issue a certain amount of bonds.
		Analysis:
43.	HB 504 Neutral	Commission on School Accreditation; clarify membership composition.
		Analysis:
44.	HB 508 Neutral	Department of Revenue; allow retiring law enforcement officer of to retain issued sidearm.
		Analysis:
45.	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.
46.	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.
47.	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
48.	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.
49.	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.
50.	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.
51.	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.
52.	HB 550 Good Policy	Intermediate driver's license; delete all references to.
		Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency and reduces unnecessary regulations on activities of individuals by eliminating the absolutely unnecessary, recently created, intermediate driver's license. The government should eliminate all unnecessary restrictions and regulations. The proper role of government is to preserve individual freedom to the fullest extent possible while insuring the safety of its citizens.
53.	HB 551 Good Policy	Driver's license; require Department of Public Safety to allow official identifying document of MDOC to suffice for.
		Analysis:
54.	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.
55.	HB 576 Good Policy	Local System Bridge Replacement & Rehabilitation Fund; revise allocation formula.
		Analysis: This bill increases government accountability and establishes responsible fiscal policy in the allocation of additional funds from the Local System Bridge Replacement & Rehabilitation Fund. This bill adds language to existing statute that ensures deficiencies are addressed before certification of eligibility for additional funds is granted. This bill institutes inspections necessary to verify existing deficiencies are in fact being addressed.
56.	HB 594 Not Rated	Coastal Wetlands Protection Act; revise definitions to include 'ordinary high water mark'.
		Analysis:
57.	HB 628 Not Rated	Highway privilege tax; add a gross vehicle weight category for carriers of property with additional tax.
		Analysis:
58.	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. Government should utilize the resources taxpayers purchased for the specific purpose for which they were purchased. Personal use of public property for private personal gain is a violation of ethics in government.
59.	HB 632 Good Policy	'All Fuels Act of 2021'; establish.
		Analysis:
60.	HB 633 Neutral	Computer science curriculum; require State Department of Education to implement in K-12 public schools.
		Analysis:
61.	HB 667 Good Policy	Alcoholic beverages; delete requirement for immediate permit revocation for certain prohibited sales.
		Analysis: This bill increases individual freedom and liberty by removing a government mandate that requires a business owner immediately lose his or her ability to participate in the state’s flawed alcohol regulatory system. Ideally government should eliminate its regulations on the free exchange of goods and services to the fullest extent possible.
62.	HB 695 Neutral	State Domestic Violence Fund; remove the matching funds requirement for.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor reduces the size of government. This bill removes the requirement for matching funds at the local level for grants made at the state level to domestic shelters. Domestic shelters are registered at the state level. Ideally services such as domestic violence shelters should be provided by charity organizations, non-profits, and philanthropy.
63.	HB 746 Neutral	Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission Law; revise regarding warranty reimbursement.
		Analysis:
64.	HB 747 Good Policy	Work release program; authorize pilot program to authorize sheriff to assign offenders to while confined in jail.
		Analysis: This bill creates a mechanism for nonviolent offenders to actively begin paying fines and child support with the wages earned through the work release program. This bill promotes pre-emptive positive reintegration measures for incarcerated individuals. These measures will ease the transition from incarceration back into our communities.
65.	HB 754 Neutral	Dyslexia education; revise provisions for determining student eligibility for IEP or 504 Plan.
		Analysis:
66.	HB 761 Good Policy	State Veterans Affairs Board; revise powers and duties relating to the operation of the State Veterans Homes.
		Analysis: This bill clarifies accountability requirements for the State Veterans Affairs Board. In addition, this bill specifically states contracted property management services are not authorized to dispose of obsolete property. This policy ensures public property will not be sold by contractors for private gain.
67.	HB 852 Neutral	Teachers' and teacher's assistants' salaries; provide increase to minimum salary.
		Analysis:
68.	HB 872 Neutral	Memorial highway; designate a segment of United States Highway 61 in Jefferson County as the 'Highway Patrol Lieutenant Troy Morris Memorial Highway.'
		Analysis:
69.	HB 886 Good Policy	Law enforcement officers; exempt from concealed firearms permit fees and renewal fees.
		Analysis: This bill removes specific fees associated with obtaining a concealed firearms permit for applicants who are law enforcement officers. Ideally, a similar fee reduction would be instituted for all Mississippians.
70.	HB 887 Neutral	Memorial highway; designate a segment of United States Highway 82 in Webster County as 'Corporal William Justin Cooper Memorial Highway.'
		Analysis:
71.	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.
72.	HB 945 Not Rated	Light wine, beer and light spirit product; revise number of qualified electors required to petition for election to prohibit or authorize.
		Analysis:
73.	HB 949 Neutral	Solid waste landfills; prohibit new landfill in county where 2 or more exist, unless referendum held.
		Analysis: This bill provides for increased public input into an issue that involves the health and safety of the community.
74.	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.
75.	HB 955 Good Policy	Abandoned mobile homes; establish a procedure to dispose of.
		Analysis: This bill provides individual property owners with a mechanism with which to offset debts owed and/or have abandoned mobile homes legally removed from their property. The bill clarifies existing law and adds language to establish a navigable process for landowners in line with existing procedures for civil action.
76.	HB 974 Good Policy	DPS; revise law regarding.
		Analysis:
77.	HB 995 Neutral	Memorial highway; designate segment in Marshall County, Mississippi as the 'Representative Tommy Woods Memorial Highway.'
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
79.	HB 1034 Not Rated	Uniform Controlled Substances Act; revise schedules.
		Analysis:
80.	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.
81.	HB 1048 Neutral	Qualification deadline; change to February 1 for certain statewide, state district, county and county district offices.
		Analysis: This bill brings forward code sections relating to payment of fees to qualify for elected office.
82.	HB 1062 Not Rated	Daylight saving time; observe year-round if federal law is amended to allow it.
		Analysis:
83.	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.
84.	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.
85.	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.
86.	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.
87.	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.
88.	HB 1137 Not Rated	Ad valorem tax; revise certain provisions regarding the determination of true value of land used for agricultural purposes.
		Analysis:
89.	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.
90.	HB 1177 Neutral	General laws and journals of legislative sessions; copies of not provided to certain recipients of unless specifically requested.
		Analysis:
91.	HB 1179 Neutral	William F. Winter and Jack Reed, Sr., Teacher Loan Repayment Program; create.
		Analysis: This bill attempts to consolidate and streamline Mississippi's education repayment programs.
92.	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.
93.	HB 1197 Not Rated	Dual-phase design-build method of construction contracting; revise certain provisions of.
		Analysis:
94.	HB 1211 Not Rated	Administrative hearing procedures for Commission on Marine Resources; revise to authorize executive director of Department of Marine Resources to make final decisions during.
		Analysis:
95.	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.
96.	HB 1230 Not Rated	Mississippi Development Authority; allow businesses located on tribal lands to be eligible for certain discretionary programs.
		Analysis:
97.	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.
98.	HB 1263 Good Policy	Occupational licensing; provide for recognition of out-of-state licenses if applicants satisfy certain conditions.
		Analysis: This bill reduces obstacles to work and encourages talented individuals to move to Mississippi, growing our population and our economy.
99.	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.
100.	HB 1288 Not Rated	Charter vessel operator's permit; create to authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages by the holder of.
		Analysis:
101.	HB 1296 Not Rated	Historic property income tax credit; revise certain provisions regarding.
		Analysis:
102.	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.
103.	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.
104.	HB 1323 Good Policy	Open meeting; authorize executive session for discussion of plans to combat human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children.
		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.
105.	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.

311.	SB 2021 Good Policy	Coordinator of Mental Health Accessibility; house position under DFA, exempt contracts from rules of contract review board.

		Analysis: This is a Hotel/Motel Tax that was implemented in 2013 for parks and recreation. This bill seeks to extend the tax to 2025 without a vote of the people of Louisville. Local governments should seek to lower the tax burden on every citizen, even those visiting their city. These local taxes are notorious for being voted in and remaining on the books in perpetuity.

This action is another mechanism utilized by the Legislature to send this bill back to committee for further amending. As a result, the rating of this bill is subject to change as it moves through the legislative process.

		Analysis:
318.	SB 2119 Good Policy	Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine; authorize sales and purchase of certain products containing without a prescription.
		Analysis: This bill increases individual liberty by reducing government intervention the availability of certain healthcare items for purchase.

		Analysis:
321.	SB 2149 Neutral	MAEP; Department of Education required to hold harmless school district from calculating 2020-2021 average daily attendance.
		Analysis: This bill prevents school districts from losing money due to reduced attendance during COVID. The bigger problem is that Miss. uses an outdated method for counting students: Average Daily Attendance (ADA). Instead of putting off the inevitable need to replace Average Daily Attendance with a better way of counting – and funding -- students, lawmakers should explore replacing ADA with a formula based on enrollment counts. This would result in more equitable and accurate funding decisions.
322.	SB 2165 Good Policy	Veterans Service Officers; revise certain qualifications and requirements.
		Analysis: This bill amends existing code to incorporate the applicable federal statute.
323.	SB 2189 Bad Policy	Counties and municipalities; authorize to offer Medicare-eligible employees supplemental compensation if employees secure Medicare.
		Analysis: This bill expands the size of Medicare dependent people and passes off gainfully employed individuals working in local government from the local government insurance policy to the federal government insurance policy while simultaneously offering those employees supplemental compensation. Government funding no matter at what level all comes from the same pocket, the taxpayer’s pocket. This bill serves to assist local governments while maintaining the burden on the taxpayers as the money to fund government insurance still comes from their pockets regardless.
324.	SB 2204 Neutral	Revised LLC Act and MS Registered Agents Act; require listing of registered agent's email address.
		Analysis:
325.	SB 2221 Neutral	Mississippi Dementia Care Program, Food Bank Pilot Programming; create.
		Analysis: This bill does not expend state taxpayer money nor create additional burdens or new regulations. The funding for the program created in this bill is specified as subject to appropriation of federal funds. The intended purpose of this bill is to help preserve our most fundamental governing unit, the family.
326.	SB 2253 Good Policy	Concealed carry weapons permit; combine with driver's license or identification card.
		Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency and reduces unnecessary burdens on individuals. Government should continually work to find innovative ways to reduce inefficient bureaucratic red tape, costs, and waste.
327.	SB 2261 Good Policy	Perpetual care cemetaries; authorize counties and cities to clean property of those not properly maintained and seek reimbursement.
		Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency and protects public safety. This bill provides a common sense mechanism to clean up specific property that poses a risk to public safety.
328.	SB 2267 Good Policy	Teacher license; allow reciprocity if teacher possesses standard license from other state and passes background check.
		Analysis: This bill builds upon the idea of interstate licensure reciprocity. It eliminates unnecessary criteria when granting reciprocity to out of state license holders thereby increasing government efficiency in filling vacant teacher positions. This bill also increases government accountability by establishing a specific timeframe for responsive action by MDE while maintaining the safety of our public education students.
329.	SB 2282 Good Policy	Youth detention; raise minimum age for youth commitment to state training school and secure detention.
		Analysis: This bill raises the minimum age of youth commitment to state training school and secure detention from 10 to 12.
330.	SB 2293 Not Rated	Claims by veterans under consumer protection law; Mississippi Veterans Affairs Board offers service free of charge.
		Analysis:
331.	SB 2294 Good Policy	Veteran Driver's License Designation; allow proof of military service in person.
		Analysis: This bill clarifies existing code to reduce unnecessary burdens on Veterans.
332.	SB 2313 Bad Policy	Mississippi Intercollegiate Athletics Compensation Rights Act; allow athletes to be compensated for name, image and likeness.
		Analysis: This bill creates disproportionate requirements/criteria for state scholarships and grants by exempting a particular class of students from income thresholds currently in place as criteria for eligibility associated with many state scholarships and grants. This bill, whether intentionally or not, authorizes government-sanctioned discrimination of non student-athletes by statutorily allowing student-athletes to retain scholarships and grants without regard to compensation. (See lines 149 - 153; 220 - 226)
333.	SB 2324 Neutral	Bad Faith Assertions of Patent Infringement; extend repealer on.
		Analysis:
334.	SB 2332 Neutral	Comprehensive Hurricane Damage Mitigation Program; extend repealer on development and implementation of program.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor reduces the size of government. However, government should reduce its interference in the private activities of individuals to the fullest extent possible, including but not limited to the insurance marketplace, while preserving non-intrusive protections for the safety of individuals.
335.	SB 2336 Neutral	MS First Responders Health and Safety Act; delay effective date of.
		Analysis: This bill delays the effective date for the implementation of a government mandated insurance program for a specific class of government employees that is currently not required. This bill temporarily halts the expansion of government spending as it relates to this specific program.
336.	SB 2373 Not Rated	Motor fuel sales; provide immunity for damages caused by the use of incompatible fuel upon certain conditions.
		Analysis:

340.	SB 2434 Neutral	Department of Public Safety; authorize contract with counties for custody of certain offenders.
		Analysis:
341.	SB 2435 Neutral	Alcoholic beverages; revise various provisions relating to distilleries.
		Analysis: This bill increases individual liberty within a flawed system.
342.	SB 2474 Neutral	Health department; authorize certain charges for services with other agencies for operation of medical marijuana program.
		Analysis: This bill conforms existing statute regarding the assessment of fees between government entities to include grant funds and pass-through money associated with Initiative 65 programs conducted by institutions of higher learning in the same manner as other grants funds and pass-through money.
343.	SB 2481 Neutral	Memorial highways; designate various segments.
		Analysis:
344.	SB 2521 Not Rated	Mississippi Advantage Jobs Act; revise definition of 'new direct job' for incentive applicants from and after July 1, 2010.
		Analysis:
345.	SB 2536 Good Policy	Athletics; provide that schools designate teams by biological sex.
		Analysis: This bill preserves individual liberty. The proper role of government is to preserve liberty and defend our communities against activities and socially-constructed determinations that encroach upon individual liberty. The ever-changing cultural perspective of the day must not be allowed to diminish liberty. Liberty and freedom of the individual is inherent, God-given, and must be preserved.
346.	SB 2539 Bad Policy	Hinds County; authorize assessments on convictions for improvements to courthouses and pretrial detention facilities.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending and decreases individual liberty by adding an additional fine to be assessed on certain individuals. This bill authorizes government-sanctioned inequality under the law through implementation of uneven justice in the name of raising funds for building and improvement projects.
347.	SB 2552 Good Policy	Pretrial Intervention Program; prohibit eligibility for persons charged with public embezzlement over a certain amount.
		Analysis: This bill increases accountability for those entrusted with responsibilities relating to the oversight and handling of taxpayers' money. Ideally, the government would apply this level of accountability to all individuals who are convicted for a violation of their oath of office or for an offense involving an office of public trust.
348.	SB 2569 Neutral	Urine; create the crime of selling or tampering with urine.
		Analysis:
349.	SB 2598 Good Policy	Department of Public Safety; revise licensing.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government regulations by removing unnecessary restrictions on military spouses attempting to obtain a Mississippi driver’s license. This bill also reduces government mandates on individuals by eliminating the absolutely unnecessary Intermediate driver’s license. Government should eliminate all such unnecessary regulations, restrictions, and mandates on the everyday activities of individuals.
350.	SB 2603 Neutral	Salvage or abandoned vehicles; authorize disposition by auction firms on behalf of insurers.
		Analysis: This bill prescribes procedures for processing the disposition of salvage or abandoned vehicles for which insurance companies are unable to successfully obtain certificates of title within a set amount of time.
351.	SB 2605 Not Rated	Golf carts and low-speed vehicles; authorize municipalities to permit operation on municipal streets.
		Analysis:
352.	SB 2606 Bad Policy	Mississippi Native Spirit Law; create.
		Analysis: This bill increases the size and scope of government by adding an additional category of alcoholic beverages to the existing list under the purview and ultimate authority of our state’s monopoly on alcohol.
353.	SB 2621 Neutral	Task Force; establish to study domestic law matters.
		Analysis:
354.	SB 2623 Bad Policy	Motor vehicle insurance; extend repealer on Public Safety Verification and Enforcement Act.
		Analysis: This bill reenacts code section. This means that code section repealed and was no longer law. This bill revives the expired/repealed code section returning it to law. As such, this bill expands the size and scope of government through the creation of a computerized verification system managed under the Department of Public Safety to, upon a traffic stop for a motor vehicle violation, investigate an individual’s insurance policy status and issue a separate citation. In cases of conflicting information provided by the individual and the computerized verification system, discretion of the officer is authorized regarding the individual’s insurance policy status. Furthermore, this bill reenacts code section that classifies violation of the crime reenacted by this bill as a a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, is punishable by a fine of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) and suspension of driving privilege for a period of one (1) year or until the owner of the motor vehicle shows proof of liability insurance that is in compliance. Government should not suspend drivers’ licenses for the offense of not having insurance. The inclusion of this language in the bill restricts individual freedom. The potential consequences of this bill will be detrimental to individuals’ ability to remain productive members of their community as well as providers for their families. This bill creates the potential for negative effects rippling out well beyond a simple motor vehicle violation to possible job loss, family dysfunction, inability to freely move about, etc.
355.	SB 2626 Neutral	MS Business Corporation Act; amend to allow corporations to hold annual or special shareholder meetings remotely.
		Analysis:
356.	SB 2630 Neutral	County law library; authorize use of money for technological purposes.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor contracts the size of government.
357.	SB 2638 Not Rated	Electronic documents; provide recording procedure for counties without electronic-recording capability.
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
361.	SB 2651 Neutral	Surplus property; clarify current policy to conform with federal regulations for the Department of Finance and Administration.
		Analysis: This bill conforms state law to federal statute.
362.	SB 2746 Neutral	Hudson's Law; require healthcare providers to provide information to parents who receive a postnatal diagnosis of a chromosomal disorder.
		Analysis:
363.	SB 2750 Neutral	Pharmacy practice; revise definition of 'written guideline or protocol' regarding location of delegated prescribing functions.
		Analysis:
364.	SB 2751 Bad Policy	Mississippi Professional Massage Therapy Act; provide new requirements and extend the repealer thereon.
		Analysis: This bill makes an unnecessary occupational license permanent.
365.	SB 2759 Bad Policy	Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; increase the monthly amount.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending. Government should reduce its overall spending. In addition, government should implement policy changes that reduce dependency and encourage individual freedom and responsibility.
366.	SB 2776 Bad Policy	Noxubee County; authorize assessments on misdemeanor convictions and nonadjudications for capital improvements.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending and decreases individual liberty by adding an additional fine to be assessed on certain individuals. This bill authorizes government-sanctioned inequality under the law through implementation of uneven justice in the name of raising funds for building and improvement projects.
367.	SB 2785 Good Policy	Driver's license requirements; exempt military members, spouses and dependent children under certain conditions.
		Analysis:
368.	SB 2788 Bad Policy	Radar speed detection; revise provisions concerning use by Highway Patrol and municipal law enforcement in certain cities.
		Analysis:
369.	SB 2795 Good Policy	'Mississippi Earned Parole Eligibility Act'; enact.
		Analysis: This bill expands eligibility for parole and specifically addresses the issue of individuals convicted of crime at or before 25 years of age. While government should work to eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing, this bill moves policy, if only slightly, towards equitable consequences for violations of crimes that endanger public safety and harm individuals and individual freedom.
370.	SB 2798 Bad Policy	Public utilities; authorize rate-regulated electric utilities to permit broadband provider use of the electric delivery system.
		Analysis: This bill restricts individuals’ right to property and protections of that property under existing law. (See lines 361-376) This bill grants authority to trespass on private property to broadband operators, broadband service providers, and retail customers by exempting them from the requirement to obtain permission from a property owner before entering the property of which the owners have previously granted access to rate-regulated public utilities through a right-of-way agreement. Existing agreements between property owners and rate-regulated public utilities will be expanded without the consent of nor compensation of the property owner to include access for any additional company operating under the new definition also created by this bill of “broadband services” in direct contradiction to existing contract law.
371.	SB 2799 Not Rated	Mississippi Medicaid Program; make technical amendments to reimbursements and administration.
		Analysis:
372.	SB 2807 Bad Policy	Alcoholic beverages; restore provision restricting areas in which manufacture, sale and distribution are authorized.
		Analysis: This bill restricts individual liberty by authorizing unnecessary regulations on the free market. Government should not interfere in individuals’ ability to participate, either as producers or consumers, in the marketplace.
373.	SB 2809 Good Policy	Public records; extend repealer on provision requiring public access to records.
		Analysis: This bill maintains statute which requires public access to records. Ideally, there should be no expiration date on this policy.
374.	SB 2816 Neutral	Public officials and employees; allow Department of Revenue appraisers to receive same pay increases as county tax assessors.
		Analysis: This bill could potentially lead to increased government spending; however, it does not actually increase spending. The bill provides that when an appraiser employed by the Department of Revenue attends and successfully completes any part of the Mississippi Education and Certification Program and receives a certification the Commissioner of Revenue is authorized to increase the salary of the appraiser in the amount authorized in Section 27-3-52 for completion of the same certification level by a county tax assessor and/or his deputies or assistants. Government should reduce its overall spending to offset any performance based salary increases for government employees.
375.	SB 2824 Good Policy	State agencies; require annual reporting of pass-through money from line-item appropriation by the Legislature.
		Analysis: This bill increases government transparency and accountability. Required reporting of pass-through money will hold both the grantor state agency and the grantee local entity accountable and provide a verifiable mechanism to compare data involving specific funds as reported from multiple sources.
376.	SB 2825 Not Rated	Transportation; revise provisions relating to motor carrier enforcement, harvest permits, and funding.
		Analysis:
377.	SB 2827 Not Rated	Public purchases; specify prequalification process for construction manager at risk soliciting bids for projects.
		Analysis:
378.	SB 2832 Good Policy	Upholstered household furniture manufacturing job tax credit; extend repealer from 2022 to 2026.
		Analysis: This bill gives a tax credit to employers in the upholstered furniture manufacturing industry. Ideally, all Mississippi citizens would be given similar tax reductions, but this bill represents a good policy move in that it reduces, albeit marginally, the tax authority of the state.
379.	SB 2834 Neutral	Mississippi Historic Site Preservation Fund; create and provide for administration by Department of Archives and History.
		Analysis:
380.	SB 2839 Neutral	SMART Business Act; create SMART Business Accelerate Initiative and distinguish from SMART Business Rebate.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending on programs that support the core functions of government.
381.	SB 2850 Good Policy	Certificate of title; allow application without usual documents for vehicles at least 30 years old on oath of ownership.
		Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency and removes unnecessary, burdensome restrictions on the activities of individuals. The government should continue to find common sense ways such as this to reduce the overwhelming number of unnecessary restrictions on the everyday lives of individuals.
382.	SB 2872 Neutral	Alcoholic beverages; remove election requirement for designation of area in Rankin County as a qualified resort area.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government accountability and transparency and establishes inconsistent policies. Government should eliminate its overreach in our state’s alcohol market. Preferential policies in a piecemeal approach is irresponsible governance.
383.	SB 2874 Bad Policy	Residential and commercial contractors; require sales tax permit from Department of Revenue for pulling building permit.
		Analysis: This bill establishes additional unnecessary burdens on individuals, specifically on responsible individuals working to provide for themselves and their families and contribute to our state’s economy.
384.	SB 2879 Neutral	Appropriations; additional appropriations for Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL).
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending. Unfortunately, the bulk of the appropriations are required to meet existing legal issues and obligations that must be addressed. Many of these issues are the result of either poor policymaking, mishandling of resources and poor delivery of required services or the result of state government obligating taxpayer money to obtain federal funding for education and/or training programs. *The Neutral rating is only because this money must be spent. It is important to note that the policies which led to the necessity for the appropriation of these additional funds were Bad Policies.
385.	SB 2881 Bad Policy	City of Brookhaven; extend repeal date on the tax upon room rentals of hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfast establishments.
		Analysis: This bill reduces government accountability and increases government spending by extending a local tax beyond its voter approved expiration date. This tax was voted on by the citizens of Brookhaven and written into law with a set date to expire. This bill circumvents the citizen approval process to keep this tax in place.
386.	SB 2882 Bad Policy	Lowndes County; increase amount that may be contributed to the United Way for fiscal years 2021-2023, and extend repealer.
		Analysis: This bill increases government spending on functions outside of the proper role of government.
387.	SB 2895 Not Rated	Ad valorem taxation; allow county to exempt up to 50% of assessed value of renewable energy project property from.
		Analysis:
388.	SB 2904 Neutral	Appropriation; IHL - general support.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes spending on specific programs and efforts identified and submitted by universities to the Legislature. The accountability mechanism currently in place and maintained by this bill is insufficient to accurately verify the efficacy of the specific appropriations authorized by this bill.
389.	SB 2905 Neutral	Appropriation; IHL - Subsidiary programs.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes spending on specific programs and efforts at Mississippi's public universities across our state. Unfortunately, there is no accountability mechanism identified by this bill to verify the efficacy of the appropriations authorized by this bill.
390.	SB 2906 Neutral	Appropriation; IHL - Alcorn State - Agricultural Research, Extension and Land-Grant programs.
		Analysis: This bill has a reverse repealer which requires it be sent back to committee for further amendment. Therefore, the rating of this bill is subject to change as it moves through the legislative process.

		Analysis: This bill increases government debt. Ideally, government should not burden our citizens with added debt. The specific spending in this bill however is for capital improvements to buildings and infrastructure at our state's public universities. Such indebtedness is akin to loans for home improvements such as a new roof or other structural improvements as necessary. Government should work to find innovative ways to reduce overall costs of improvements projects.
