SB 2051 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Department of Corrections; extend repealer on drug and alcohol program at Bolivar County Regional Facility.

SB 2051 extends the expiration date for a Mississippi Department of Corrections program that partners with Bolivar County Regional Facility to provide drug and alcohol treatment to up to 250 inmates. The program requires comprehensive treatment, aftercare planning, and recidivism monitoring for inmates within 18 months of release. This extension delays the program’s automatic termination beyond its original July 1, 2029, repeal date, ensuring continued operation under current terms. The bill directly affects the Department of Corrections, Bolivar County Regional Facility, and participating inmates.

What changed between versions

As Passed the upper → Current version · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill's title was updated to reflect its current status as sent to the Governor rather than passed by the Senate. The effective date provision was modified to remove language that would have repealed the act on June 30, 2025, meaning the law will remain in force indefinitely after taking effect on that date.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains unchanged; only the effective date provision was modified to prevent automatic repeal.
TIMELINE

Removed language stating the act would be repealed from and after June 30, 2025, so the law will remain in effect after that date.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill title from 'As Passed the Senate' to 'As Sent to Governor' to reflect its current legislative status.
