Hearing held on NAACP’s lawsuit against House Bill 1020
SUMMARY: The federal court hearing was held over House Bill 1020 which allows for the creation of a separate Capitol Complex Improvement District court in Jackson. The NAACP claims it will disproportionately impact Black residents, while the state argues it's an answer to crime problems. HB 1020 was under a temporary restraining order until September 2023, but the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled that the court's creation is constitutional, but the appointment of judges was not. Randolph, the Chief Justice, spoke about the need for additional judges. Wingate plans to make a decision before the CCID court is set to go into effect on January 1, 2024.
