SUMMARY: A new bill in Mississippi, HB 571, introduced by Rep. Sam Creekmore, aims to criminalize child grooming, punishable by up to 10 years in prison for repeat offenders. The bill was inspired by the Causey family, whose child was groomed by an adult but found no legal recourse. Grooming involves building trust with a minor for future sexual abuse. While Mississippi lacks laws defining grooming as a crime, similar laws exist in Texas, Florida, and other states. HB 571 would be a step toward protecting children and deterring offenders. The bill is under review in the House Judiciary B Committee and could become law by July 2025.

SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Senate has approved the “In-Person Early Voting Act,” which would allow registered voters to cast ballots up to 15 days before an election without needing an excuse. This would replace the current 45-day absentee voting period. Supporters argue it provides convenience for voters, especially those with scheduling difficulties. However, the bill faces opposition, with concerns about litigation and resistance from many circuit clerks. Despite this, the bill passed with bipartisan support and will now move to the House. Governor Tate Reeves, however, has expressed opposition to no-excuse early voting, which is already in place in 47 states.
