Mississippi Families' Rights and Responsibilities Act; enact.

SB 2870, the "Mississippi Families' Rights and Responsibilities Act," proposes to protect parental rights regarding children's upbringing, education, health care, and mental health. It would require parental consent for medical procedures, prescriptions, school health records access, and certain educational decisions, while prohibiting state employees from withholding health information from parents. The bill also establishes legal remedies for parents if these rights are violated, with exceptions for emergencies and court orders. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted into law. It would have directly affected parents, schools, health care providers, and state agencies in Mississippi.
