SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Senate has passed Senate Bill 2347, revising penalties for methamphetamine possession with a 33-7 vote. Authored by Sen. Daniel Sparks, the bill shifts towards treatment for meth addiction. It raises the misdemeanor amount from one-tenth of a gram to one gram, imposing up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine for a first offense. Second offenses incur harsher fines and up to six months in jail, while a third offense becomes a felony, risking five years in prison and a $50,000 fine. The bill now moves to the House and could take effect immediately if signed by the governor.

SUMMARY: The Pearl Board of Aldermen voted 5-2 to reject a citizen-approved ordinance allowing liquor stores within city limits, despite nearly 60% of voters supporting it in a June referendum. Pearl, a Rankin County suburb, remains in a dry county where liquor sales require special approval. Although Pearl has resort status permitting wine and liquor by the glass in restaurants and beer sales in stores, residents must still travel elsewhere for liquor purchases. Mayor Jake Windham, who opposed liquor stores but supported honoring the vote, expressed disappointment, emphasizing the importance of respecting citizens’ voices and preventing retail leakage.
