HB 882 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

911 calls; require a public body to transcribe and release to the public if certain information redacted.

HB 882 requires Mississippi public bodies to transcribe and release 911 call transcripts to the public upon request, while redacting all identifying information about callers or subjects (such as names, addresses, or phone numbers). This applies to emergency calls handled by public safety entities, with fees limited to those set under Mississippi's Public Records Act. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law. It aimed to increase transparency around emergency call records without compromising personal privacy.
