Uniform Post-Conviction Collateral Relief Act; amend certain provisions related to the filing of motions under.

SB 2346 would amend Mississippi's post-conviction relief law (Mississippi Code § 99-39-5) by imposing a one-year deadline for two key exceptions: new legal interpretations from courts or newly discovered DNA evidence. It would also explicitly bar claims about ineffective legal counsel during post-conviction proceedings from being used to challenge a conviction. This bill directly affects individuals convicted in Mississippi who seek to overturn their convictions through collateral relief motions. The proposed changes aim to limit the timeframe for filing certain motions and remove ineffective counsel as a valid ground for relief, though the bill died in committee in February 2025.
