| Bill Number | Bill Description | Bill Status | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
HB 5 Bad Policy |
Hazing; increase penalties for. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill restricts individual freedom and increases the size of government. Government should not expand its authority through increased penalties. Equal justice includes equal punishment. Excessive punishment is a violation of our God-given rights and our Bill of Rights. | ||||
|

| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 122 Good Policy |
Expungement; authorize up to three felony convictions to be expunged after 15 years. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill promotes positive reintegration of individuals with felony convictions back into our communities by providing a mechanism by which individuals can seek the removal of certain felony convictions from the record thereby also removing the associated stigma for crimes of which they have long ago paid their debts to society. Government should work to reintegrate convicted individuals back into civil society and remove unnecessary, burdensome restrictions, regulations, and barriers that inhibit positive and productive reintegration. | ||||
|
HB 287 Good Policy |
Drug Intervention Courts; standardize references. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency and effectiveness in a program that promotes positive rehabilitation of non-violent offenders. This bill makes technical corrections to applicable language to insure proper application of law and functioning of the drug court system. This bill makes organizational/structural changes to the drug court system that result in increased efficiency and effectiveness. | ||||
|
HB 290 Good Policy |
Pre-trial Intervention; prohibit certain amount of public embezzlement for. | Dead | ||
| 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. | ||||
|
HB 319 Good Policy |
DPS; make revision to gun permit residency requirement and certain driver's license petitions for review. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill expands individual freedom by waiving residency requirements of military spouses of active duty personnel stationed in Mississippi. This bill increases government efficiency and accountability by providing a necessary specification regarding appeal procedures for individuals seeking review of a ruling regarding a gun permit. | ||||
|
HB 350 Good Policy |
Certificate of rehabilitation; authorize those convicted in another state to apply for a. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill would allow persons convicted of or a felony in another state or federal courts the ability to apply for a certificate of rehabilitation in the state after completing their sentence, as is already allowed for persons convicted in Mississippi courts. | ||||
|
HB 453 Bad Policy |
Law enforcement officers; allow off-duty use of official vehicles while performing certain volunteer services in off-duty hours. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill indirectly increases government spending. Specifically, this bill allows taxpayer purchased law enforcement vehicles to be used for volunteer services by off-duty law enforcement. Utilization of law enforcement vehicles for off-duty activities contributes to depreciation and increases the likelihood of mechanical problems. Law enforcement vehicles are purchased with taxpayer money for a specific purpose. Donating the use of taxpayer purchased law enforcement vehicles is not sound fiscal policy and falls outside of the proper role of government. | ||||
|
HB 479 Good Policy |
Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine; authorize sales and purchase of certain products containing without a prescription. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 551 Good Policy |

| Analysis: | ||||
|

| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 615 Neutral |
DUI suspension; clarify how the 120 days are counted. | Dead | ||
| 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. | ||||
|
HB 631 Bad Policy |
Law enforcement; allow off-duty use of official vehicles while performing security services in off-duty hours. | Alive | ||
| 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. | ||||
|
HB 634 Neutral |
Firearms restriction; limit those by cities, counties and state agencies. | Dead | ||
| 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. | ||||
|
HB 796 Good Policy |
Habitual offender; revise penalties for. | Dead | ||
| 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. | ||||
|
HB 874 Bad Policy |
Tobacco and alternative nicotine products; increase age to 21 and require government-issued photographic identification. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill interferes in the free market and decreases individual liberty. However, government should institute laws that are consistent. This bill changes Mississippi's tobacco restrictions to align with Mississippi's alcohol restrictions. | ||||
|
HB 883 Good Policy |
Traffic ticket quotas; prohibit state and local agencies from establishing. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill reduces the size of government. Policies that limit mandatory minimums are directed to increasing freedom and liberty. Government should work to find additional areas in which elimination of mandatory minimums could be applied. | ||||
|
HB 886 Good Policy |
Law enforcement officers; exempt from concealed firearms permit fees and renewal fees. | Alive | ||
| 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. | ||||
|
HB 929 Neutral |
Reentry for offenders; bring forward certain sections relating to. | Dead | ||
| 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. | ||||
|
HB 1140 Bad Policy |
First-degree murder; include unlawful distribution of controlled substances, when the distribution is proximate cause of death. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: | ||||

SB 2067 Not Rated |
Pseudoepheedrine and ephedrine; authorize sales and purchase of certain products containing without a prescription. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|
SB 2068 Bad Policy |
Voyeurism; revise sentencing. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill lowers the age of a convicted offender receiving a prison sentence from 21 to 18 years old. Mississippi law requires a person under the age of 21 to have a co-signer for an automobile loan or to lease an apartment, forbids 18 year olds from purchasing alcohol, and allows 25 year olds to remain on their parents' insurance. The inconsistency in our state’s laws and regulations surrounding individuals’ personal responsibility is glaring. This bill furthers an inconsistent application of our state's criminal code. In addition, this bill would no doubt lead to increased government spending and could potentially create a multitude of additional harmful, unintended consequences. | ||||
|
SB 2070 Not Rated |

| Analysis: | ||||
|
SB 2106 Bad Policy |
Off-duty law enforcement officers; authorized to use public vehicles for private security duty. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill allows taxpayer purchased law enforcement vehicles to be used for private security activities by off-duty law enforcement. This is a misuse of public resources. Utilization of law enforcement vehicles for off-duty activities contributes to depreciation and increases the likelihood of mechanical problems. The cost of both would ultimately fall on the taxpayers of Mississippi. | ||||
|
SB 2107 Good Policy |
Firearms; prohibit local governments and state agencies from restricting possession. | Dead | ||
| 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. | ||||

| Analysis: | ||||
|
SB 2223 Bad Policy |
Arrest warrants; authorize issuance for sex offenses against children upon oral testimony. | Dead | ||
| 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. | ||||

SB 2572 Neutral |
DUI law; revise fourth offense of and require all expunctions to be confidentially registered. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill, in its current form, standardizes code sections to properly align eligibility for expunctions. However, this bill has a reverse repealer and brings forward code sections for possible amendment at a later time. At this stage in the legislative process amendments will be discussed in conference rather than committee. This process, in which only a select few of our Representatives and Senators are allowed to participate, reduces government transparency and accountability. | ||||
