SB 2887 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Aggravated DUI; remove negligence standard.

SB 2887 removes a requirement that prosecutors prove a driver acted negligently to charge aggravated DUI in Mississippi. It amends Section 63-11-30 of the state code to delete language mandating negligence for aggravated DUI offenses. This change directly affects drivers charged with aggravated DUI, as it simplifies the legal standard prosecutors must meet. The bill does not alter penalties or blood alcohol limits but streamlines the definition of aggravated DUI by eliminating the negligence element. The bill died in committee in February 2025.
