Mississippi Policy Votes

	Bill Number	Bill Description
1.	HB 414 Not Rated	Anatomical gifts; prohibit discrimination against recipient based on disability.
		Analysis:
2.	HB 984 Not Rated	Mississippi Board of Nursing; revise the notice required for special meeting of.
		Analysis:
3.	SB 2583 Neutral	2018 Transportation and Infrastructure Improvements Fund; clarify provision relating to City of Guntown.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes more allowable uses for funds from the 2018 Transportation and Infrastructure Improvements Fund in the city of Guntown. This does not amount to an increase in funding, only a change in what the funding is authorized to be used for in the city,
4.	SB 2511 Neutral	Teachers; revise licensure.
		Analysis: This bill stipulates that an SAT score equivalent to an ACT score of 21 may be substituted to fulfill the standardized testing requirement for teacher licensure. It also revises specific language concerning teacher licensure.
5.	HB 117 Good Policy	Water well contractor's license; remove requirement that applicant must present three affidavits to the DEQ examining committee.
		Analysis: This bill removes a requirement that stipulates that three affidavits must be submitted to the DEQ Examining Committee for the successful application for a Water Well Contractor's license. This removes an unnecessary hurdle that those seeking gainful employment in the Water Well Contractor's field must overcome. The state should be in the business of making it easier to attain employment, not more difficult, and this bill does that by removing arbitrary licensing requirements.
6.	SB 2319 Neutral	Sales tax; clarify the description of logging equipment that qualifies for a reduced sales tax rate.
		Analysis: This bill clarifies language regarding the sales tax rate of specific logging equipment.
7.	SB 2009 Good Policy	Sex offenders; future contact with victim prohibited (Carly's Law).
		Analysis: This bill makes it a felony crime for convicted sexual offenders to contact in any way their victim(s) for the remainder of their life. This rightly protects victims of sexual crimes and promises swift punishment to sexual offenders who would seek to repeat their crimes.
8.	SB 2266 Neutral	Municipal courts; authorize to hold court at municipal detention facilities.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes municipal judges to hold court at the designated detention center of that municipality.
9.	SB 2125 Good Policy	Veterans Form DD 214; provide for recordation by chancery clerk.
		Analysis: This bill requires that all chancery clerks provide recordation of all military certifications to veterans free of charge.
10.	HB 768 Not Rated	Mississippi Board of Mental Health; authorize to sell certain state-owned real property located in Meridian, Lauderdale County, MS.
		Analysis:
11.	SB 2324 Bad Policy	Alcohol; revise certain provisions regarding authority of Department of Revenue to dispose of seized alcohol.
		Analysis: This bill slightly increases the parameters under which law enforcement may dispose of alcoholic beverages and "raw materials" connected with the production of alcoholic beverages. The state should not be in the business of seizing property as it pertains to alcohol in the first place, and surely should not be wastefully disposing of these materials. At the very least the state should sell this property at a profit and use the newly acquired funds to lessen the burden of the taxpayer.
12.	HB 942 Neutral	Voyeurism; revise penalty for offense of.
		Analysis: As it stands 5 years jail time is the maximum amount of jail time someone 21 years old or older who is convicted of voyeurism can receive. This bill lowers that standard to 18 years of age.
13.	HB 445 Neutral	State veterans nursing homes; authorize to operate group purchasing programs jointly with other public entities.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes state veterans nursing homes to participate in group purchasing programs with other public entities.
14.	SB 2273 Neutral	State Port Authority; extend repealer on provision allowing the use of design-build method of contracting.
		Analysis: This bill extends an active repeal on a regulation that limits the "design-build" method of contracting for use by the State Port Authority.
15.	HB 322 Good Policy	Veterans; establish a permissive preference in private employment for certain veterans.
		Analysis: This bill protects businesses who wish to give preference to honorably discharged veterans, unremarried widows of deceased honorably discharged veterans who died in the line of duty, and spouses of people with total disabilities when hiring. As a general rule the government should not be regulating who private businesses should or should not hire. However, businesses being allowed to give preference to a certain group of potential employees is integral to their freedom and this bill protects that albeit under a narrow set of circumstances.
16.	SB 2554 Neutral	Oaths; revise officers authorized to administer.
		Analysis: This bill gives Sheriffs and Police Chiefs the power to administer oaths.
17.	SB 2433 Neutral	Taxation; amend code sections to make interest rates consistent with other tax statutes.
		Analysis: This bill changes the language used on ad valorem tax receipts. When in the past the receipt stated which specific legislative session allowed for the tax credit resulting in the receipt, it will now only mention that the credit came from legislative action, not specifying which session.
18.	SB 2314 Neutral	State parks; change name of Natchez State Park to 'Bob M. Dearing Natchez State Park.'
		Analysis:
19.	HB 373 Neutral	Conditional medical release; prohibit offenders convicted of capital murder from receiving.
		Analysis: This bill removes the right of those convicted of capital murder to be placed on conditional medical release.
20.	HB 945 Neutral	Sexual battery; remove statute of limitations for prosecution of crime of.
		Analysis: As it stands there is no statute of limitation for sexual battery against children. This bill removes the statute of limitations that exists for all sexual batteries, regardless of age.
21.	SB 2470 Bad Policy	Taxation; allow denial of permit to engage in business as a different legal entity until previous taxes have been paid.
		Analysis: This bill allows for the denial of a permit to engage in certain business activities if the state finds that the individual applying for the permit owes a tax liability to the state. This bill operates under the assumption that you don't have a right to operate a business without government approval. Owing money to the state is not a legitimate justification for the state to deny anyone the right to operate a business.
22.	HB 1024 Good Policy	Habitual offender; revise penalties for.
		Analysis: This bill enacts sentencing reforms that limit the application of long prison sentences under Mississippi’s “three strikes” habitual law for nonviolent drug offenses. Rehabilitation and return of non-violent offenders to society keeps the taxpayer from footing an even more costly bill for the state's justice system, puts more fathers back into what would be fatherless homes, and helps solve the current crisis of prison-overcrowding.
23.	HB 750 Good Policy	Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983; exempt certain records of Workers' Compensation Commission from definition of public records.
		Analysis: This bill exempts any records of the Mississippi Worker's Compensation Commission that include personal, private or identifying information of any person from the definition of "public records". Filing a workman's compensation claim should not subject someone to having their personal information included in the public record.
24.	HB 954 Neutral	ABC Division officers; compensation shall be determined by special plan approved by Personnel Board.
		Analysis: This bill changes the device through which the amount of compensation received by officers of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division and the Department of Revenue shall be determined. The amount of compensation will be determined by the State Personnel Board through a special plan that takes into account the cost of travel for these officers.
25.	SB 2593 Neutral	Distinctive boat trailer and utility trailer license tags; authorize issuance to supporters of the National Rifle Association.
		Analysis:
26.	SB 2488 Neutral	Motor vehicle title; change vehicle age from 10 to 20 years for odometer disclosure exemption to conform with federal mandate.
		Analysis: As it stands, in the event of a sale of a vehicle aged 10 years or under, the seller must disclose the exact mileage of the vehicle. This bill raises that threshold to 20 years or younger. As a result, all vehicles sold in Mississippi that are 20 years or younger must come included with the exact mileage information. This change in law reflects the current federal law on the matter.
27.	HB 31 Good Policy	Mississippi Public Records Act; revise certain provisions of.
		Analysis: This bill requires the Mississippi Ethics Commission to intervene when a public official appeals an otherwise successful records request; and levies a fine on public employees that either wrongly deny a records request or overcharge for a records request. Both of these changes protect the legitimacy of the records request process by making it more difficult for the government or government officials to block a request.
28.	HB 217 Bad Policy	Open container of alcohol; create offense for.
		Analysis: This bill creates an "open container law" that holds that the operator (driver) of any motor vehicle is to be considered "in possession" of any open container found in the vehicle, even of the open container is physically in the possession of someone else in the passenger seat. This is an affront to personal liberty and carries with it a minimum fine of $100.
29.	SB 2061 Good Policy	Arrest warrant; opportunity for probable cause hearing before issuance.
		Analysis: This bill requires that a judge determine, with or without a hearing, whether probable cause is clearly evident before an arrest warrant is issued against a person for an alleged criminal act. This will strengthen due process and help prevent frivolous prosecutions of Mississippians.
30.	SB 2369 Neutral	Ad valorem tax; remove reverter on provision waiving penalty and interest when county inadvertently extended exemption.
		Analysis:
31.	HB 230 Neutral	Daylight saving time; observe year-round if federal law is amended to allow it.
		Analysis: This bill stipulates that if the United States Congress authorizes states to observe daylight saving time year-round, Mississippi will do so.
32.	SB 2117 Good Policy	Occupational licensing boards; require prompt licensure and temporary practice permits for certain military applicants.
		Analysis: This bill requires an occupational licensing board to provide an applicant with a temporary license or certification within 30 days of the application being filed, provided that the applicant is military or is a military spouse. While this bill does lessen regulatory hurdles for one type of citizen and is surely a step in the right direction, regulatory hurdles should be lessened broadly for every type of citizen. Occupational licensing is often needless and arbitrary, placing regulatory hurdles in front of Mississippians who are attempting to work and acquire gainful employment. Occupational Licensing boards are furthermore often staffed by individuals already active in the industry they are tasked with regulating and who only stand to gain personally by raising the standards that their would-be competitors must meet in order to compete against them in the market.
33.	HB 264 Bad Policy	Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol officers and Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics officers; clarify salaries of.
		Analysis: This bill raises the salaries for all officers of the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics. Every Mississippian has a taxpayer burden of over $11,000 and the state is currently attempting to foot a $14 Billion bill with around $5.7 Billion of assets. The financial reality of the state of Mississippi is one that was reached through reckless government and needless pay increases for government workers. With these numbers in mind it is hard to imagine a legitimate justification for further raising the salaries of government workers.
34.	SB 2309 Neutral	Compatibility of land use development with Mississippi military installations; require exchange of information.
		Analysis: This bill requires that municipal and county governments in the immediate vicinity of military installations share with the leaders of the installation any land use plans and proposals. The bill does not give the military installation the power to effect the plans of the local government, only to review and provide comments.
35.	SB 2510 Bad Policy	Foreign limited liability companies; revise administrative revocation.
		Analysis: This bill grants the Secretary of State the power to administratively revoke the registration of a an otherwise authorized foreign limited liability company in the event that the that the company is found to be delinquent in any payments or tax owed to the state of Mississippi. The state should realize that having these businesses in the state helps our market thrive and our economy be more successful. The state should be actively searching for ways to incentivize businesses to locate in Mississippi, not creating new avenues to tax and remove them from the state.
36.	SB 2555 Neutral	Child advocacy centers; immunity from civil liability.
		Analysis: This bill offers protection to employees of child advocacy centers from the threat of having a civil suit brought against them on grounds pertaining to their work at the advocacy center. The purpose here is to allow these workers to feel more comfortable reporting and investigating incidents of possible child abuse and releasing information pertaining to these cases (in the good faith effort of helping the child) without fear of civil liability.
37.	SB 2287 Good Policy	Golf carts and low-speed vehicles; authorize municipalities to allow operation on municipal streets.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes local municipalities to be the sole deciders on road permits for Golf carts and low-speed vehicles in their jurisdiction. Decentralization of authority on trivial matters such as permits for golf carts and other low-speed vehicles is prudent as local government is typically more equipped to handle their own local issues.
38.	HB 993 Good Policy	Elections; provide penalties for persons who publish campaign materials without certain identifying information.
		Analysis: This bill establishes a set of penalties for any candidate, political committee or other political actor that fails to clearly identify required information in campaign publications. Information such as who paid for a political publication, who endorses or approves of the publication and who produced the publication is vital information to the voter and it's inclusion on all printed and online campaign material helps keep our elections fair and democratic.
39.	HB 531 Neutral	Counties and municipalities; encourage to exchange information with military installations relating to land use and development.
		Analysis: This bill encourages counties and municipalities to coordinate more closely with military installations in the state for zoning purposes.
40.	SB 2204 Bad Policy	Local government police vehicles; allow off-duty use under certain circumstances.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes off-duty police officers to utilize their government police vehicles when operating as private security while off-duty. Law enforcement officers are of course free to work as private security officers in an off-duty capacity during their free time. However, they are not entitled to public resources while operating independently from doing government work. While employed in a private setting, law enforcement officers are being compensated by that private entity and are not working for the public at that moment. Police vehicles are public property and should only be used by public officials performing public duties, anything else is a misuse of public moneys and resources. It is not the taxpayer's responsibility to foot the bill for police officer's transportation while he/she is off-duty and engaged in private employment.
41.	HB 127 Not Rated	Budget process; bring forward various sections relating to.
		Analysis:
42.	SB 2722 Bad Policy	Chronic wasting disease; require testing of white-tailed deer harvested in enclosures, and designate Class I and II violations.
		Analysis: This bill requires that all who have white-tailed deer in any type of enclosure test those deer for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). It goes even further to say that Wildlife Personnel have the authority to forcibly enter the enclosure and any other within 5 miles and use lethal collection methods to further test deer for CWD. While the intention here is good, the health of an enclosure of deer is not a legitimate basis to invade the property rights of Mississippians by forcibly entering their property.
43.	SB 2725 Good Policy	Hemp; create the Mississippi Hemp Cultivation Act.
		Analysis: This bill legalizes the cultivation, transportation, processing and handling of hemp. Although this legalization come with heavy regulation, the legalization of hemp ultimately makes our markets and people freer and more prosperous.
44.	HB 94 Not Rated	Center for Rural Health Innovation; establish to provide services and resources to rural hospitals.
		Analysis:
45.	HB 379 Bad Policy	Mississippi Marketplace Facilitator Act of 2020; create.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes the state to tax, regulate and audit online "marketplace facilitators" (companies that facilitate the online buying and selling of personal property). It also includes a provision that allows this tax to be passed on to those who purchase items through the facilitator. This bill is an attempt by the state government to become involved in the growing online market of personal property. This state involvement in these online marketplaces will surely raise costs in this marketplace and make these online facilitators less inclined to operate with potential sellers/buyers in Mississippi.
46.	HB 262 Bad Policy	E-verify program; transfer responsibility of administering to the Commission of Agriculture and Commerce.
		Analysis: This bill is a regulatory change transferring ownership of the E-verify program from the Department of Employment Security to the Department of Agriculture. The bigger issue is the E-verify program itself. It has been proven to be unreliable at its purpose, technical glitches can keep legal employees out of jobs, and it turns our state into a permission society, where we must receive government permission to work. The bill also included penalties for businesses whose E-verify reporting show inconsistencies. This unjustly transfers the responsibility of policing immigration from the state to Mississippi's businesses.
47.	HB 708 Not Rated	Pharmacy Benefit Prompt Pay Act; revise various provisions of.
		Analysis:
48.	SB 2403 Neutral	Veterans; create the Mississippi Veterans Honor Medal Program.
		Analysis: This bill creates a new medal for all Mississippi veterans who are honorably discharged from duty. The bill stipulates that the cost of the medal will be offset by its sale.
49.	HB 429 Good Policy	Nonadjudication and pretrial intervention; authorize completion of workforce training as a condition that the court may impose.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes the successful completion of a workforce training program to be counted as a stipulation in a pre-trial agreement. Completion of a workforce training program is ultimately a better solution for some would-be criminals than jail/prison.
50.	SB 2484 Good Policy	Alcoholic beverages; revise definition of 'qualified resort area' to include land owned by a certain state institution of higher learning.
		Analysis: This bill recognizes institutions of higher learning as "qualified resort areas". This means that these institutions may apply for a "qualified resort area" waiver that, if approved, would allow for the sale of alcohol at that location. This bill also strikes from the law a provision that bans the sale and consumption of alcohol at any public sporting event. This bill represents a step in the direction, away from antiquated alcohol legislation that attempts to regulate the morality of its people.
51.	SB 2348 Bad Policy	Abandoned manufactured or mobile homes; establish procedure for disposition.
		Analysis: This bill outlines the procedure through which the state may dispose of abandoned mobile or manufactured homes. This is not a primary function of government. Abandoned homes can be dealt with through already-existing legal functions of the state and are ultimately the responsibility of the owners of any land that these homes are left on. This bill represents another government expansion into an area of private life that is unneeded, unnecessary and wasteful of our public tax dollars.
52.	SB 2288 Neutral	Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; authorize issuance for Robotics Alliance of Mississippi.
		Analysis:
53.	HB 824 Bad Policy	Election commissioners; authorize per diem for primary and runoff election days in addition to general and special election days.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes per diem pay to election commissioners on the days of primary and runoff elections. This expenditure solves no existing problem in the election process and only serves to increase the tax burden on the people of Mississippi.
54.	SB 2333 Bad Policy	Fees; authorize Department of Revenue to charge and place in special fund to defray costs of shipping alcoholic beverages.
		Analysis: This bill creates a new fund for the shipping of alcoholic beverages for the ABC. This is not a new expenditure, only a change in the funding mechanism for this specific cost. However, the market of alcoholic beverages should be free and independent. Because we allow the state government to legislate the availability of alcohol in our state, we end up spending public money on the operations of the ABC, which would be unnecessary if alcohol sales were unregulated and left to the free market.
55.	HB 686 Good Policy	Patient's Right to Informed Health Care Choices Act & prohibitions against deceptive advertising by providers; extend repealers on.
		Analysis: This bill continues the repeal of penalties included in the Patient's Right to Informed Health Care Choices Act. As it stands, all penalties under this act are repealed, this bill extends that repeal until 2023. Government penalties for improper advertising erode personal responsibility and heighten the role of government in our daily lives. Being an informed consumer of goods and services in the modern world with services like Yelp and others is not difficult and we do not need the state to belittle it's citizens with an act that acts as if citizens are simply not smart enough to make these decisions on their own. Arbitrary penalties for doctors and other medical professionals that may occasionally fail to meet the government's often rigorous advertising standards only serve to provide one more way government can take money from the small businesses in the medical field and use it to fund the next needless government expenditure.
56.	SB 2557 Good Policy	Advocate confidentiality law; protect certain information held by rape crisis and domestic violence programs.
		Analysis: This bill makes all communication between a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking and their certified advocate confidential. The availability of a completely confidential advocate for victims of these crimes is invaluable to their recovery.
57.	HB 782 Good Policy	Certificate of rehabilitation; authorize those convicted in another state to apply for a.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes Mississippi inmates who were convicted of felonies out of state to apply for certificates of rehabilitation in Mississippi. These certificates will be easier to obtain for these inmates with the change offered in this legislation.
58.	SB 2227 Neutral	MS Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act; revise to include HMO subscriber contracts and certificates.
		Analysis:
59.	SB 2365 Neutral	Motor vehicles; provide that ad valorem tax receipts shall not specify legislative session in relation to tag credit.
		Analysis: This bill removes language from ad valorem tax credit receipts that specifies which legislative session granted the credit. Instead, the receipt will only mention that the credit is a result of legislative action without specifying which session.
60.	SB 2420 Neutral	Official corruption; grant concurrent jurisdiction over prosecution of to Attorney General.
		Analysis: This bill grants the Attorney General the authority to prosecute official corruption cases if requested to by the State Auditor.
61.	SB 2723 Neutral	Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks; allow to extend deer hunting season till 6 p.m. Sunday when it ends on a Friday.
		Analysis: This bill grants the Commission on Wildlife the authority to extend deer hunting season to 30 minutes past sundown on the following Sunday when the regular season ends on a Friday.
62.	HB 1016 Not Rated	Unused ballots; provide for the retention and destruction of.
		Analysis:
63.	HB 524 Neutral	Disaster Assistance Trust Fund; expand uses of and increase maximum amount that may be transferred to.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes two more possible uses for the Disaster Assistance Trust Fund and increases the maximum amount that may be transferred to that fund from the reserve fund during one fiscal year from $1 Million to $2 Million.
64.	HB 688 Not Rated	MS Pharmacy Practice Act; extend repealer on.
		Analysis:
65.	SB 2272 Neutral	Mississippi Boll Weevil Management Corporation; extend repealer on deadline for annual audit of accounts.
		Analysis: This bill extends the current repeal of the Mississippi Boll Weevil Management Corporation Trust Fund's required annual audit. This bill extends the repeal until July 1, 2024.
66.	HB 777 Not Rated	Counselors; revise certain provisions of licensing laws.
		Analysis:
67.	SB 2717 Good Policy	Wildlife management areas; allow persons aged 60 and older to operate electric bicycles in.
		Analysis: This bill has been amended to provide that the operation of electric bicycles will be allowed in areas under the jurisdiction of the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks regardless of age. This promotes the basic liberties of citizens.
68.	HB 96 Good Policy	Emergency medical services provider; include fire stations and ambulances in definition under Baby Drop-off Law.
		Analysis: This bill changes the definition of "emergency medical services provider" to included fire stations and ambulances that are staffed with full time firefighters or emergency medical personnel. This effectively adds fire stations and staffed ambulances to the list of authorized locations under the "baby drop-off" law. The purpose of this is to increase the number of authorized and monitored locations that a child 3 days or under can be left in order to avoid abandonment of these infants somewhere other than a monitored area.
69.	HB 1018 Neutral	Church Protection Act; revise how a church is required to maintain reords of its security team.
		Analysis: This bill requires churches to maintain the identification numbers of any law enforcement officers who are members of the church's registered security team.
70.	SB 2102 Good Policy	Ad valorem tax; exempt motor vehicles held by a wrecker service for resale.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes wrecker services to sell motor vehicles that are not registered to the business under certain circumstances. It also exempts these vehicles from ad valorem tax. These are vehicles that are seldom actually on the road, their taxation is an unnecessary burden on the wrecker service.
71.	SB 2328 Neutral	Agriculture; revise loans for agribusinesses and obligation bonds for Emerging Crops Fund.
		Analysis:
72.	HB 943 Neutral	Terroristic threats; revise provisions regulating.
		Analysis: This bill revises the language that defines the crime of committing "terroristic threats". It removes the stipulation that the crime must include a "cede to the person's demands."
73.	HB 282 Good Policy	Golf carts and low-speed vehicles; allow municipalities to authorize operation on municipal streets.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes local municipalities to be the sole deciders on road permits for Golf carts and low-speed vehicles in their jurisdiction. Decentralization of authority on trivial matters such as permits for golf carts and other low-speed vehicles is prudent as local government is typically more equipped to handle these local issues.
74.	HB 494 Bad Policy	County purchases; increase the minimum acquisition costs of items and services for certain purposes.
		Analysis: This bill raises the maximum amount a county can spend on any one purchase without reporting the purchase to the state government from $1,500 to $2,000. If anything, more oversight on what our tax dollars are spent on is necessary, not less.
75.	SB 2325 Bad Policy	Public officials and employees; allow Department of Revenue appraisers to receive same pay increases as county tax assessors.
		Analysis: This bill authorizes the Commissioner of Revenue to raise the salaries of appraisers employed by his department. The state government should be actively searching for ways to reduce government spending, not going out of their way to increase it.
76.	HB 46 Neutral	Bonds; revise purposes for which bonds authorized for Town of Wesson may be used.
		Analysis: This bill included the construction of a new police station among the allowable uses for funds from the "2019 Town of Wesson Police Station Construction Fund".
77.	SB 2435 Good Policy	Motor vehicles; remove requirement for apportioned vehicles to have decal with expiration month and year on license tag.
		Analysis: This bill removes the requirement for apportioned vehicles to have the date of expiration decal attached to their license plate. Removing unnecessary state requirements like these is prudent and saves money for the taxpayer and the government .
78.	HB 263 Bad Policy	School attendance officers; clarify salaries of.
		Analysis: This bill raises the salaries of school attendance officers. Raising the salaries of school officials is not a prudent solution to repairing the state of our public education. There are a myriad of needs present in our public education system, higher salaries for school administrators is not one of them.
79.	SB 2513 Good Policy	Livestock on highways; delete burden on owner of livestock to prove lack of negligence in an action for damages.
		Analysis: As it stands, in the event of livestock wandering onto state roads and causing an accident, the burden is on the owner of the livestock to prove that he was not negligent in allowing the livestock to wander onto the road per state law. This is akin to holding that the livestock owner is guilty first, and must prove his innocence. This stipulation violates the principle of "innocent and until proven guilty" and this bill removes that stipulation from state law.
80.	SB 2509 Neutral	Failing school districts; extend repealer on.
		Analysis: This bill continues the repeal of a regulation that authorizes the state board of education to appoint a new board to administer failing school districts.
81.	SB 2697 Not Rated	Nonadjudication; mandatory in certain cases.
		Analysis:
82.	SB 2550 Not Rated	DUI; nonadjudication of a first offense for CDL holder who was not operating a commercial vehicle.
		Analysis:
83.	SB 2459 Not Rated	Gang act; revise.
		Analysis:
84.	HB 1510 Not Rated	Occupational licenses; revise provisions regarding licensing for certain military applicants.
		Analysis:
85.	HB 1556 Not Rated	Career and technical education; revise curriculum, instructor license requirements and certain assessments.
		Analysis:
86.	HB 1040 Not Rated	Agencies, departments and institutions; require to report workforce monies received and how those monies were spent to the SWIB each year.
		Analysis:
87.	HB 1027 Not Rated	Emerging Crops Fund; increase maximum loan amount and total bonding authority under.
		Analysis:
88.	HB 336 Not Rated	Mississippi Workforce Development Study Committee; create.
		Analysis:
89.	HB 1540 Not Rated	Administrative procedures; prohibit state agencies from adopting rule that contradicts a provision of law.
		Analysis:
90.	HB 229 Not Rated	MS Accountability and Transparency Act; revise to include certain counties and municipalities.
		Analysis:

Bills Coming Out of Committee
