HB 759 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Casino winnings; provide procedures for intercept of child support arrearages.

HB 759 requires Mississippi casinos to withhold a portion of a parent's casino winnings (including slot machine payouts and cash winnings) to pay unpaid child support debts. The bill mandates that the state's Gaming Commission and Department of Human Services create a system for real-time access to child support arrears data, enabling casinos to automatically apply winnings toward these debts. This applies to winnings reported on Form W2-G (like most casino payouts), starting with the second annuity payment for progressive slot machines. The law aims to ensure children receive owed support by redirecting gambling winnings that parents might otherwise divert from child support obligations.
