Notable Mississippi laws going into effect on July 1
SUMMARY: The 2023 Mississippi legislative session was unexpectedly eventful, with a number of bills passed and signed into law by Governor Tate Reeves. Some of the key laws that will go into effect starting July 1 include the extension of postpartum Medicaid benefits, allowing educators to carry firearms in the classroom, prohibiting the direct sale of automobiles through brick-and-mortar locations, and no longer considering fentanyl test strips as paraphernalia. Other laws include banning sexually explicit material in public libraries and schools, creating a registry for those guilty of misspending taxpayer dollars, and banning TikTok on government devices. The session also saw the approval of an 11-member study committee to examine the possibility of online sports betting in the state. There were also laws related to off-duty police officers, volunteer firefighter benefits, ballot harvesting, pecan theft, and the designation of the blueberry as the state fruit and the Mississippi Opal as the state gemstone.

SUMMARY: Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry emerged victorious at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans, defeating Mississippi's Chad Ramey and his partner Martin Trainer in a playoff. Ramey and Trainer's impressive final round of 63 secured them a 25-under score but weren't enough to win. The playoff was clinched by a skillful chip from McIlroy, followed by Lowry's birdie on the first hole. McIlroy's win tally reaches 39, with Lowry now owning nine wins. Last year's champions, Davis Riley and Nick Hardy, finished 28th at 17-under, unable to defend their title.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Capitol's legislative session is extended, as key leaders prepare to work past the expected end date due to a missed deadline that led to the failure of 100 appropriation bills. Speaker Jason White anticipates rule suspension to address these bills and finalizing the Fiscal Year 2025 state budget. Lawmakers recently passed a new K-12 funding formula and a PERS stopgap plan. Medicaid expansion discussions are ongoing, with the House and Senate presenting different plans. The full deadline for considering general bills is approaching. The next session reconvenes Monday, with a busy week anticipated ahead.
