Prison Overcrowding Emergency Powers Act; extend repealer on.

SB 2049 extends the expiration date of Mississippi's Prison Overcrowding Emergency Powers Act from 2029 to a future date, ensuring the existing framework remains in effect. The bill directly affects the state's prison system and inmates eligible for parole, by allowing the Governor to advance parole eligibility dates (by 30-90 days) when prison populations exceed 95% of capacity for 30 consecutive days. Key mechanisms include requiring the Corrections Commissioner to notify the Governor and Parole Board when overcrowding occurs, and mandating that the Governor verify all other population-reduction efforts (like earned time or parole reviews) were fully utilized before declaring an emergency. This procedural extension preserves the state's legal ability to temporarily reduce prison overcrowding through parole adjustments without creating new policy.
