SB 2087 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

General Laws; repeal requirement that advance sheets be published and distributed.

SB 2087 repeals a Mississippi law requiring the Joint Committee on Compilation, Revision and Publication of Legislation to contract with a publisher for advance sheets of newly enacted state laws and distribute them to specific parties. This bill eliminates an administrative requirement related to the publication process for Mississippi's General Laws, removing the need for the committee to produce and distribute preliminary printed copies of laws before they are fully compiled. The change affects only the legislative committee's internal procedures, not any citizens, businesses, or other entities, as it streamlines how state law documents are handled. The bill became effective after the governor signed it on March 17, 2025.
