SB 2865 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Polygraph Examiners Law; revise definition.

SB 2865 would have updated Mississippi's definition of "polygraph examiner" in state law to specify that it refers to "any person who uses a polygraph instrument to test or question individuals for the purpose of verifying truth of statements." This revision would have directly affected licensed polygraph examiners operating in Mississippi by clarifying their legal definition under the Polygraph Examiners Law. The bill did not create new requirements or penalties but solely revised the statutory definition. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted into law.
