Removal from office; revise to include being indicted for a crime as a reason for.

HB 1580 amends Mississippi law to allow removal from office for being indicted for a crime, expanding existing grounds for removal that previously required conviction. The bill adds "being indicted for a crime" as a specific reason under Section 25-5-5, directly affecting all state and local elected officials (including county, district, and municipal officers). Key mechanisms include requiring the Attorney General to file a removal motion in court after an indictment, with a hearing process to determine removal - similar to current procedures for convicted officials. This change would trigger removal proceedings earlier in the legal process, before trial or conviction. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was not enacted.
