House Rules; amend to require a racial impact statement for all legislation to be attached to each bill.

HR 5 would require Mississippi legislators to attach a racial and ethnic impact statement to any bill changing criminal laws, sentencing, or penalties before it can be debated on the floor. These statements, prepared by the Department of Public Safety with input from state agencies, must include data on how proposed laws might affect different racial and ethnic groups in criminal offender and victim populations. The bill specifies that statements must be factual, simple, and include methodologies used, but clarifies they are for informational purposes only. The resolution was referred to committee but died there in April 2025, meaning it did not become law.
