HB 296 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Employees terminated from certain agencies, departments, institutions or nonprofits; prohibit from receiving similar employment.

This bill prohibits employees terminated from state or federally funded agencies, departments, institutions, or nonprofits from being hired by another similar organization using the same grant or contract funds. It directly affects workers terminated from roles supported by Mississippi or U.S. grant funding, blocking their rehiring at comparable entities. The key mechanism restricts employment at any organization utilizing identical grant funds, applying to both state and federal grant sources. The law takes effect immediately upon passage and does not apply to non-grant-funded positions.
