Registered sex offenders; prohibit residence in campus student housing or sorority/fraternity houses.
SB 2222 proposed prohibiting registered sex offenders from residing in campus student housing or sorority/fraternity houses at Mississippi's public universities and community colleges. The bill would have amended Mississippi's sex offender registration law (Section 45-33-25) to add this specific restriction, directly affecting individuals classified as registered sex offenders who attend or live near these public educational institutions. Key mechanisms included updating registration requirements to include educational institution details and adding civil enforcement provisions for violations. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
