Alienation of affection; abolish cause of action.

SB 2466 would have abolished the legal claim for "alienation of affection" in Mississippi, ending the ability for individuals (typically spouses) to sue a third party for allegedly causing the breakdown of their marriage. The bill would have taken effect on July 1, 2025, removing this specific tort from state law. It directly affected people who might have pursued such lawsuits, though no new mechanisms or provisions were created - only the elimination of an existing cause of action. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
