		Analysis:
10.	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.
11.	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)
12.	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.

15.	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.

		Analysis:
17.	HB 109 Neutral	Budget process; update various sections 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		Analysis: This bill removes language that is no longer applicable and preserves the sound policy of 98% allocation of the general funds for this fiscal year.
18.	HB 119 Good Policy	Harper's Grace Law; extend repealer on authority to research and dispense cannabidiol (CBD oil) for medical purposes.
		Analysis: This bill, in theory, promotes individual freedom and liberty. Unfortunately, thus far its actual effects on increased access to potentially life-saving medical and therapeutic procedures and drug choices is subpar. Government should work to remove unnecessary restrictions, regulations, and barriers on the activities of individuals and limit interference in healthcare and the free market.
19.	HB 135 Neutral	MS Critical Teacher Shortage Act of 1998; extend repealer on.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor contracts government.

		Analysis:
21.	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.
22.	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.
23.	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.
24.	HB 199 Bad Policy	Appropriation; additional for various state agencies for Fiscal Year 2021.
		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.
25.	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.
26.	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.
27.	HB 213 Neutral	DFA; authorize Office of Surplus Property to administer the Federal Donation Program.
		Analysis:
28.	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.
29.	HB 277 Good Policy	Tribal identification cards; recognize as legal means of personal identification.
		Analysis:
30.	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)

32.	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.
33.	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.
34.	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.
35.	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.
36.	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.
37.	HB 327 Neutral	Comprehensive Hurricane Damage Mitigation Program; extend repealer on.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor contracts the size of government.
38.	HB 328 Neutral	State and Interstate highways; authorize Mississippi Transportation Commission and counties to contract for counties to maintain.
		Analysis:
39.	HB 330 Neutral	Uninsured motorist coverage law; revise to prohibit insurance policy from paying certain losses if another insurance policy must pay for such.
		Analysis: This policy neither expands nor contracts the size and scope of government. This policy change eliminates the paying of duplicate claims to joined parties for the same incident.
40.	HB 341 Not Rated	Motor carrier safety improvements; prohibit consideration of deployment of in determining an individual's employment status with motor carrier.
		Analysis:
41.	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.
42.	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.
43.	HB 356 Not Rated	Child abuse reports; expand immunity for making to include persons participating in resulting investigations.
		Analysis:
44.	HB 357 Neutral	Bonding requirement for county purchase clerk; increase.
		Analysis:
45.	HB 359 Bad Policy	Municipally-owned utilities; may use accounting system accommodation for uncollectible customer indebtedness.
		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.
46.	HB 374 Neutral	Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; authorize issuance to supporters of Mississippi Theatre Association, Inc.
		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.
47.	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.
48.	HB 424 Neutral	Memorial highway; designate segment of MS Highway 44 in Marion County as the 'T.L. Wallace Memorial Highway.'
		Analysis:
49.	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.
50.	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.
51.	HB 487 Neutral	County and public libraries; repeal certain provisions related to.
		Analysis:
52.	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.
53.	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.
54.	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.
55.	HB 500 Neutral	Mississippi Home Corporation; extend reverter on authority to issue a certain amount of bonds.
		Analysis:
56.	HB 504 Neutral	Commission on School Accreditation; clarify membership composition.
		Analysis:
57.	HB 508 Neutral	Department of Revenue; allow retiring law enforcement officer of to retain issued sidearm.
		Analysis:
58.	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.
59.	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.
60.	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
61.	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.
62.	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.
63.	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.
64.	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.
65.	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.
66.	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.
67.	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.
68.	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.
69.	HB 551 Good Policy	Driver's license; require Department of Public Safety to allow official identifying document of MDOC to suffice for.
		Analysis:
70.	HB 572 Not Rated	Alcoholic beverages; revise definition of 'qualified resort area' under the Local Option Alcoholic Beverage Control Law.
		Analysis:
71.	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.
72.	HB 594 Not Rated	Coastal Wetlands Protection Act; revise definitions to include 'ordinary high water mark'.
		Analysis:
73.	HB 615 Neutral	DUI suspension; clarify how the 120 days are counted.
		Analysis: This bill clarifies existing law to insure consistent application of our state’s law in regards to how days are counted when a judge signs an order issuing a 120 day suspension of an individual’s driver’s license as the result of a DUI conviction.
74.	HB 628 Not Rated	Highway privilege tax; add a gross vehicle weight category for carriers of property with additional tax.
		Analysis:
75.	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.
76.	HB 632 Good Policy	'All Fuels Act of 2021'; establish.
		Analysis:
77.	HB 633 Neutral	Computer science curriculum; require State Department of Education to implement in K-12 public schools.
		Analysis:
78.	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.
79.	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.
80.	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.
81.	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.
82.	HB 746 Bad Policy	Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission Law; revise regarding warranty reimbursement.
		Analysis: This bill expands the scope and authority of government by adding multiple new definitions and sections of code to existing language specifying what type of work and parts are covered under warranty reimbursement between manufacturers and dealers of automobiles. This issue should be resolved without pre-emptive government interference through standard methods of arbitration or civil proceedings. Government should not prescribe specifics categories of interactions in the free market.
83.	HB 747 Good Policy	Work release program; authorize courts and sheriffs to assign certain convicted 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.
84.	HB 754 Neutral	Dyslexia education; revise provisions for determining student eligibility for IEP or 504 Plan.
		Analysis:
85.	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.
86.	HB 796 Good Policy	Habitual offender; revise penalties for.
		Analysis: This bill encourages the positive reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals as contributing members in our communities. Government should reduce excessive punishments on individuals in keeping with the Eighth Amendment to our Constitution.
87.	HB 849 Not Rated	State Workforce Investment Board; revise membership of.
		Analysis:
88.	HB 852 Not Rated	Teachers' and teacher's assistants' salaries; provide increase to minimum salary.
		Analysis:
89.	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:
90.	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.
91.	HB 887 Neutral	Memorial highway; designate a segment of United States Highway 82 in Webster County as 'Corporal William Justin Cooper Memorial Highway.'
		Analysis:
92.	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.
93.	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. 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.
94.	HB 942 Neutral	Public utilities; authorize rate-regulated electric utilities to permit broadband provider use of the electric delivery system.
		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.
95.	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:
96.	HB 947 Not Rated	Marion County; authorize imposition of fuel tax after an election with proceeds used for a road repair.
		Analysis:
97.	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.
98.	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.
99.	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.
100.	HB 974 Bad Policy	DPS; revise law regarding.
		Analysis: This bill greatly expands the scope of authority granted to numerous classifications of personnel within DPS. In addition, this bill removes the Attorney General's oversight of contracts. (See line 297) This policy limits transparency and reduces accountability.
101.	HB 992 Neutral	County port and harbor commission; provide that members hold appointment until successor appointed and installed.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor contracts the size of government. This bill ensures continuity in the functioning of the county port harbor commission during lapses in member appointments.
102.	HB 995 Neutral	Memorial highway; designate segment in Marshall County, Mississippi as the 'Representative Tommy Woods Memorial Highway.'
		Analysis:
103.	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)
104.	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.
105.	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.
106.	HB 1018 Not Rated	State buildings; name DPS Gulf Coast Regional Forensics Laboratory as the 'Gary T. Hargrove Memorial Forensic Laboratory.'
		Analysis:
107.	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.
108.	HB 1034 Not Rated	Uniform Controlled Substances Act; revise schedules.
		Analysis:
109.	HB 1047 Not Rated	Nationally certified licensed school employees; delete caps on nurses and speech pathologists and add athletic trainers for salary supplements.
		Analysis:
110.	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.
111.	HB 1062 Not Rated	Daylight saving time; observe year-round if federal law is amended to allow it.
		Analysis:
112.	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.
113.	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.
114.	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.
115.	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.
116.	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.
117.	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.
118.	HB 1137 Not Rated	Ad valorem tax; revise certain provisions regarding the determination of true value of land used for agricultural purposes.
		Analysis:
119.	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.
120.	HB 1157 Good Policy	Golf carts and low-speed vehicles; allow municipalities to authorize operation on certain municipal streets.
		Analysis: This bill removes an unnecessary restriction on individuals’ day freedom of movement within municipalities.
121.	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.
122.	HB 1177 Neutral	General laws and journals of legislative sessions; copies of not provided to certain recipients of unless specifically requested.
		Analysis:
123.	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.
124.	HB 1181 Neutral	The MS Registered Agents Act; revise to include 'email address.'
		Analysis: This bill does not expand the size, scope, or power of government. This bill adds an email address part of the information submitted to the state when filing for appointment as a registered agent.
125.	HB 1193 Not Rated	Noxubee County; authorize assessments on misdemeanor convictions and nonadjudications to repair county courthouse/county owned facilities.
		Analysis:
126.	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.
127.	HB 1197 Not Rated	Dual-phase design-build method of construction contracting; revise certain provisions of.
		Analysis:
128.	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.
129.	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:
130.	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.
131.	HB 1230 Not Rated	Mississippi Development Authority; allow businesses located on tribal lands to be eligible for certain discretionary programs.
		Analysis:
132.	HB 1231 Bad Policy	Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund; create.
		Analysis: This bill 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 authorizes the utilization of specific sales tax revenue from one particular industry for funding.
133.	HB 1232 Not Rated	Hinds County; authorize assessments on convictions/nonadjudications to repair pre-trial detention centers and courthouses.
		Analysis:
134.	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.
135.	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.
136.	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.
137.	HB 1288 Not Rated	Charter vessel operator's permit; create to authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages by the holder of.
		Analysis:
138.	HB 1290 Neutral	Attorney General; allow salaries of assistants to exceed statutory limitation under certain circumstances.
		Analysis:
139.	HB 1296 Not Rated	Historic property income tax credit; revise certain provisions regarding.
		Analysis:
140.	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.
141.	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.
142.	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.
143.	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.
144.	HB 1322 Not Rated	Income tax; authorize credit for certain railroad reconstruction/replacement expenditures.
		Analysis:
145.	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.
146.	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.
147.	HB 1333 Not Rated	Town of Wesson; authorize the use of low-speed vehicles and golf carts on certain public roads.
		Analysis:
148.	HB 1334 Not Rated	Town of Georgetown; authorize use of low-speed vehicles and golf carts on certain public roads.
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
150.	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.
151.	HB 1339 Bad Policy	City of Vicksburg; authorize contributions to Storehouse Community Food Pantry.
		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.
152.	HB 1340 Bad Policy	City of Vicksburg; authorize contributions to Read by Third Grade, a Tutorial Program for At-Risk Students.
		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.

		Analysis:
154.	HB 1349 Not Rated	Marshall County; authorize hiring of additional part-time assistant county prosecuting attorneys.
		Analysis:
155.	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.
156.	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.
157.	HB 1356 Not Rated	Income tax and sales tax; revise deduction for depreciation, exempt sales of certain aircraft.
		Analysis:
158.	HB 1358 Bad Policy	City of Vicksburg; authorize certain funding for nonprofit museums within the city.
		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.
159.	HB 1359 Bad Policy	City of Vicksburg; authorize to execute certain agreement to make contributions to Vicksburg Warren Economic Development Foundation.
		Analysis: This is a clear abuse of power and 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.
160.	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.

212.	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.

		Analysis: This bill reduces tax liabilities on hard-working Mississippians by adopting a fair and equitable, forward-thinking tax policy that will improve the lives of all our citizens and our posterity. Combining a tremendous reduction in the sales tax percentage on groceries and the complete elimination of our state's income tax over a set period of time with a modest increase in our state’s overall sales tax and increases to sales taxes on specific items, this bill truly sets into motion like no other bill in recent memory our state’s trajectory towards the high road to freedom. Mississippians know best how to spend their hard-earned money. This bill takes the state government‘s hand off our paychecks.

		Analysis:
330.	SB 2021 Good Policy	Coordinator of Mental Health Accessibility; house position under DFA, exempt contracts from rules of contract review board.
		Analysis: This bill provides an avenue for increased accountability. The government stewards of our money should be in positions that allow for maximum transparency and accountability. By moving the position of Coordinator of Mental Health Accessibility to the Department of Finance and Administration, this bill provides the potential for reduced government spending and increased government efficiency. The government should eliminate services that fall outside of the core functions of government and streamline necessary services where possible.
331.	SB 2024 Neutral	Depositories; revise bid process for selection by counties and municipalities.
		Analysis:
332.	SB 2031 Bad Policy	City of Louisville; extend the hotel and motel tax repeal date to July 1, 2025.
		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.
333.	SB 2032 Bad Policy	City of Olive Branch; authorize 1% tax on hotels and motels and issuance of bonds for tourism and parks and recreation.
		Analysis: This is a Hotel/Motel Tax that the city of Olive Branch is asking for tourism, parks and recreation. Tourism, Parks and recreation are not a core function of government and local governments should seek to lower the tax burden on every citizen even those visiting their city. This bill would also allow the city to issue bonds on the projected proceeds of the tax putting more indebtedness on its citizens. These local taxes are notorious for being voted in and remaining on the books in perpetuity.
334.	SB 2035 Not Rated	Hunting; allow air guns, air bows and pre-charged pneumatic weapons, and authorize special seasons for CWD sample collection.
		Analysis:
335.	SB 2062 Bad Policy	Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program; authorize an additional round for counties and municipalities.
		Analysis: This bill proposes to increase government spending. However, the Committee Substitute has a reverse repealer which repeals the bill the day before it would go into effect. 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.
336.	SB 2070 Not Rated	Suffrage; restore suffrage to Vedo Kyles.

		Analysis:
341.	SB 2081 Good Policy	University of Mississippi Medical Center property; revise leasing authority by removing provision requiring mixed-use development.
		Analysis: This bill provides an avenue to reduce government spending and encourages better use of resources.. The bill enables UMMC to more efficiently lease property by removing restrictions on the terms of the lease.
342.	SB 2087 Bad Policy	Cemetery owners; authorize to disinter dead human remains for reinterment, reburial or delivery to a carrier for transportation.
		Analysis: Initially, this bill provides an avenue for next of kin to directly request certain actions be taken by cemetery owners regarding the disinterment and reinterment of their loved ones. This particular section of the bill represents good policy. Unfortunately, Section 5 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. This bill interferes in our free market by inhibiting consumers’ ability to seek redress through a civil action in cases of negligence. 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.
343.	SB 2098 Bad Policy	State Board of Funeral Service; extend repealer on.
		Analysis:
344.	SB 2107 Good Policy	Firearms; prohibit local governments and state agencies from restricting possession.
		Analysis: This bill removes unnecessary restrictions on individual liberty, limits government authority over individuals, and clarifies existing statute to insure government is accountable for overreach.
345.	SB 2117 Not Rated	Juvenile offenders; provide alternative sentencing and parole options.
		Analysis:
346.	SB 2119 Good Policy	Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine; authorize sales and purchase of certain products containing without a prescription.

		Analysis: This bill expands government authority by creating an entirely new criminal offense.
348.	SB 2124 Not Rated	Mississippi Department of Employment Security; revise various provisions regarding authority of.
		Analysis:
349.	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.
350.	SB 2165 Not Rated	Veterans Service Officers; revise certain qualifications and requirements.
		Analysis:
351.	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.
352.	SB 2204 Neutral	Revised LLC Act and MS Registered Agents Act; require listing of registered agent's email address.
		Analysis:
353.	SB 2205 Not Rated	Birth certificate; adoptee may obtain certified copy of original after 18 years.
		Analysis:
354.	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.
355.	SB 2223 Bad Policy	Arrest warrants; authorize issuance for sex offenses against children upon oral testimony.
		Analysis: This bill expands government authority and reduces individual liberty. In addition, this bill removes specific Constitutional protections. This bill eliminates the requirement of an in-person sworn affidavit for the issuance of a search warrant involving computer crimes investigations and grants authority to judges to issue search warrants based upon testimony given over the telephone and/or via facsimile. This bill also allows for electronic signatures on emergency domestic protection orders. These orders are issued without the accused having the ability to defend himself or herself. These orders operate outside of the standard court procedures without the Constitutionally prescribed right to due process. Given the very nature of this types of court order, the requirement of a judge's in-person signature should be preserved.
356.	SB 2249 Not Rated	Suffrage; restore to Riney Spiller.
		Analysis:
357.	SB 2252 Not Rated	Special Care Facility for Paroled Inmates; authorize parole for medically frail inmates, licensure and Medicaid reimbursement.

		Analysis:
359.	SB 2261 Good Policy	Perpetual cemetery law; revise notice and maintenance provisions for counties and municipalities.
		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.
360.	SB 2267 Good Policy	Teacher license; allow reciprocity if teacher possesses standard license from other state.
		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.
361.	SB 2270 Neutral	Autopsies; provide for confidentiality of photographs and recordings of.
		Analysis:
362.	SB 2279 Neutral	Parole and earned release; criminalize absconding.
		Analysis: This bill applies consistent consequences of existing statute equally to all individuals convicted of crime(s) who are currently serving sentences under the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
363.	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.
364.	SB 2288 Not Rated	City of Guntown; allow low-speed vehicles and golf carts on certain public roads.
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
368.	SB 2324 Neutral	Bad Faith Assertions of Patent Infringement; extend repealer on.
		Analysis:
369.	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.
370.	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.
371.	SB 2366 Not Rated	Suffrage; restore to Dexter Foster.
		Analysis:

377.	SB 2435 Not Rated	Alcoholic beverages; revise various provisions relating to distilleries.
		Analysis:
378.	SB 2437 Neutral	Distinctive motor vehicle license tags; authorize for Wildlife Mississippi.
		Analysis: This bill allows for voluntary financial support of government initiatives. Government should eliminate its mandatory spending on ancillary, non-essential government programs and seek alternative funding mechanisms that promote voluntary support by engaged citizens . The distinctive motor vehicle license tag program provides an excellent framework for voluntary citizen support of non-essential government programs.
379.	SB 2474 Neutral	Department of Health; allow charges between agencies for services provided under the 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.
380.	SB 2477 Neutral	Mississippi Home Corporation; remove reverter on statute granting authority to issue negotiable bonds and notes.
		Analysis:

384.	SB 2507 Not Rated	Mississippi Development Authority; allow businesses located on tribal lands to be eligible for certain discretionary programs.
		Analysis:
385.	SB 2521 Not Rated	Mississippi Advantage Jobs Act; revise definition of 'new direct job' for incentive applicants from and after July 1, 2010.
		Analysis:
386.	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.
387.	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.
388.	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.
389.	SB 2569 Neutral	Urine; create the crime of selling or tampering with urine.
		Analysis:
390.	SB 2572 Not Rated	DUI law; revise fourth offense of and require all expunctions to be confidentially registered.
		Analysis:

		Analysis:
392.	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.
393.	SB 2602 Not Rated	Nonadmitted insurer policy fee; divert certain amount to fund fire trucks and fire apparatus/protection grants.
		Analysis:
394.	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.
395.	SB 2605 Not Rated	Golf carts and low-speed vehicles; authorize municipalities to permit operation on municipal streets.
		Analysis:
396.	SB 2606 Not Rated	Mississippi Native Spirit Law; create.
		Analysis:
397.	SB 2621 Neutral	Task Force; establish to study domestic law matters.
		Analysis:
398.	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.
399.	SB 2624 Not Rated	MS Real Estate Commission; require to establish pilot program using administrative hearing officers.
		Analysis:
400.	SB 2626 Neutral	MS Business Corporation Act; amend to allow corporations to hold annual or special shareholder meetings remotely.
		Analysis:
401.	SB 2627 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 fives 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.
402.	SB 2630 Neutral	County law library; authorize use of money for technological purposes.
		Analysis: This bill neither expands nor contracts the size of government.
403.	SB 2631 Bad Policy	Health insurance; revise mandated coverage for telemedicine services.
		Analysis: This bill increases the scope of government and increases unnecessary restrictions on individuals’ ability to participate in the free market. While the intent of this bill appears to be good policy in its explicit requirement of acknowledgement of telemedicine as its pertains to insurance reimbursements, this bill closes the door to many existing and potential providers telecommunications systems for the delivery of telemedicine by including the absolutely unnecessary phrase “HIPAA-compliant telecommunications systems.” (See line 41) This specific phrase creates a closed market that is not necessary according to existing federal and state statute. It is well-known within medical industry circles that HIPAA compliance is maintained by the healthcare provider. Telecommunications systems are not the responsible parties in telemedicine any more than they are the responsible parties as it relates to privacy issues in education. Education professionals all over the country utilize a variety of telecommunications systems for instruction delivery, teacher-parent communication, and community engagement, etc. without the necessity for specific telecommunications systems providers being utilized for those activities even though there are many significant federal and state statutes governing the rights of privacy for students and minors. This bill in its current form, whether intentional or not, is nothing more than an industry protection bill designed to close the door to innovation and entrepreneurship in telecommunications operating the healthcare market.
404.	SB 2638 Not Rated	Electronic documents; provide recording procedure for counties without electronic-recording capability.
		Analysis:
405.	SB 2643 Good Policy	Service of tax sale notices; revise to allow service by a constable.
		Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency by authorizing the utilization of the services of constable in keeping with the existing functions of that elected office.

		Analysis: This bill conforms state law to federal statute.
409.	SB 2664 Not Rated	Early Learning Collaborative Act of 2013; prescribe standards and benchmarks.
		Analysis:
410.	SB 2689 Not Rated	State Auditor; increase fee which may be charged for performing audits and other services.
		Analysis:
411.	SB 2725 Neutral	State Budget; bring forward certain provisions and transfer funds.
		Analysis: This bill brings forward code sections dealing with the state budget for possible amendment at a later time. Therefore, this rating is subject to change as the bill moves through the legislative process.
412.	SB 2727 Neutral	Department of Archives and History; revise appointing authority for members of the board of trustees.
		Analysis: This bill makes no changes to existing law; however, it brings forward code sections for amending at a later time.
413.	SB 2746 Neutral	Hudson's Law; require healthcare providers to provide information to parents who receive a postnatal diagnosis of down syndrome.
		Analysis:
414.	SB 2750 Neutral	Pharmacy practice; revise definition of 'written guideline or protocol' regarding location of delegated prescribing functions.
		Analysis:
415.	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.
416.	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.
417.	SB 2765 Not Rated	Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act; create.
		Analysis:
418.	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.
419.	SB 2785 Good Policy	Driver's license requirements; exempt military members, spouses and dependent children under certain conditions.
		Analysis:
420.	SB 2788 Not Rated	Radar speed detection; revise provisions concerning use by Highway Patrol and municipal law enforcement in certain cities.
		Analysis:
421.	SB 2792 Good Policy	Fresh Start Act of 2019; expand.
		Analysis: This bill promotes individual liberty and removes unnecessary barriers and restrictions on individuals attempting to obtain employment in sectors of Mississippi ‘s economy that require occupational licenses under our state's current laws.
422.	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.
423.	SB 2798 Bad Policy	Broadband services; provide for the participation of rate-regulated electric utilities in the expansion of.
		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.
424.	SB 2799 Not Rated	Mississippi Medicaid Program; make technical amendments to reimbursements and administration.
		Analysis:
425.	SB 2804 Good Policy	Alcoholic beverage; create delivery service permit.
		Analysis: This bill continues Mississippi's flawed monopoly on the alcohol market in our state. However, the addition of a delivery service permit will expand access in the poorly run existing system.
426.	SB 2806 Not Rated	Department of Revenue; bring forward code sections relating to ABC Division and authority to contract for services.
		Analysis:
427.	SB 2807 Not Rated	Alcoholic beverages; restore provision restricting areas in which manufacture, sale and distribution are authorized.
		Analysis:
428.	SB 2809 Not Rated	Public records; extend repealer on provision requiring public access to records.
		Analysis:
429.	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.
430.	SB 2820 Bad Policy	Department of Tourism; create.
		Analysis: This bill expands the size and scope of government beyond its proper role.
431.	SB 2822 Not Rated	Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive Act; create.
		Analysis:
432.	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.
433.	SB 2825 Not Rated	Mississippi Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act of 2021; create.
		Analysis:
434.	SB 2827 Not Rated	Public purchases; specify prequalification process for construction manager at risk soliciting bids for projects.
		Analysis:
435.	SB 2829 Not Rated	Department of Revenue; allow to use tag revenue to cover tag program expenses.
		Analysis:
436.	SB 2830 Neutral	New Markets Tax Credit; extend MDA's ability to allocate by one year.
		Analysis: This bill extends existing tax credits. Ideally government should provide a similar relief to all taxpayers and reduce its overall spending.
437.	SB 2831 Not Rated	Historic structure income tax credit; cap per taxpayer and authorize sale or transfer.
		Analysis:
438.	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.
439.	SB 2833 Bad Policy	Motor Vehicle Commission Law; provide obligations of manufacturers, distributors & dealers regarding rates for parts and labor.
		Analysis: This bill expands government authority over and interference in the free market. The proper role of government is to preserve individual liberty, including but not limited to the ability to participate in the free market.
440.	SB 2834 Neutral	Mississippi Historic Site Preservation Fund Grant Program; establish within Department of Archives and History.
		Analysis:
441.	SB 2839 Not Rated	SMART Business Act; create SMART Business Accelerate Initiative and distinguish from SMART Business Rebate.
		Analysis:
442.	SB 2843 Not Rated	Tax; phase out June 25 deadline for taxpayers with average liability of at least $50,000 to remit 75% of June liability.
		Analysis:
443.	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.
444.	SB 2863 Bad Policy	MDH; revise appropriation for FY2021 to allow purchase of accumulated compensatory time incurred before June 30, 2021.
		Analysis: This bill initially changed the appropriation for the Department of Health to purchase unaccumulated compensatory time. However, the Committee Substitute for this bill adds in language to create a new “Special Treasury Fund" for the State Fire Academy Workforce Program” and remove this program from the requirement of being funded through the general fund. The State Fire Academy is required by statute to be funded by appropriation through the Legislature from the general fund. In addition to the creation of this special fund, this bill also specifically allows the State Fire Academy to utilize the monies in this special fund. This action is in direct contradiction to the Legislature's previous action during its 2016 session to eliminate unnecessary special funds and move in the direction of more responsible and accountable fiscal policies through streamlining the appropriation process by funding government functions from the general fund in a clear, line itemized approach.
445.	SB 2868 Not Rated	Qualified resort areas; include certain municipalities.
		Analysis:
446.	SB 2872 Not Rated	Alcoholic beverages; remove election requirement for designation of area in Rankin County as a qualified resort area.
		Analysis:
447.	SB 2874 Not Rated	Residential and commercial contractors; require sales tax permit from Department of Revenue for pulling building permit.
		Analysis:
448.	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.
449.	SB 2880 Not Rated	Caledonia Natural Gas District; reconstitute board of commissioners as natural gas users rather than district residents.
		Analysis:
450.	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.
451.	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.
452.	SB 2895 Not Rated	Ad valorem tax; provide assessment rate for transformative renewable energy project property designated by the county board.
		Analysis:
453.	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.
454.	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.
455.	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.
456.	SB 2907 Not Rated	Appropriation; IHL - Mississippi State University - Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station.

		Analysis:
507.	SB 2971 Neutral	Bonds; authorize issuance for state institutions of higher learning.
		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.
