SB 2337 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Juvenile felony arrests; require notification to juvenile's school district by local law enforcement.

SB 2337 requires local law enforcement in a juvenile's county to notify the juvenile's school district within 24 hours of arresting a juvenile (defined as age 12-18) for a felony. This would directly affect school districts, allowing them to support affected students following a felony arrest. The bill, which died in committee on February 4, 2025, does not change arrest procedures but mandates timely school notification. It focuses solely on communication between law enforcement and schools, not on altering legal penalties or student discipline policies.
