HB 121 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Mattresses; prohibit resale with certain exemptions.

HB 121 requires sellers of secondhand mattresses in Mississippi to attach a permanent white tag with specific details: the mattress's material type, confirmation it is secondhand, and the original manufacture date. The tag must be visible (at least 6 square inches), durable, and printed in English. Violations carry fines starting at $50 for a first offense, increasing to $2,500 for third offenses. The bill, which died in committee on February 4, 2025, includes exceptions for householder sales, nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3)), and court-ordered sales.
