Joint Rules; amend to allow cosponsorship of bills, joint resolutions and concurrent resolutions originating in other house.
This bill (SC 520) amends Mississippi's legislative rules to allow members of one chamber to cosponsor bills, joint resolutions, or concurrent resolutions introduced in the other chamber. Specifically, it would let legislators in the non-originating house add their name as a cosponsor after a bill passes the chamber where it originated and is transmitted to the other house. The change directly affects all state legislators by expanding how they can formally support bills across both chambers. It is a procedural rule change with no direct impact on public policy or programs. The bill died in committee in April 2025 and was never enacted.
