HB 1010 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

No-knock warrants; prohibit issuance of.

HB 1010 prohibits no-knock warrants in Mississippi by requiring law enforcement officers to provide notice of their identity, authority, and purpose before entering any residence or dwelling, and to read the warrant aloud while giving a copy to the occupant or person in control of the premises. The bill limits issuance of such warrants to specific judicial authorities (county courts, chancery courts, or the Supreme Court) rather than allowing general police discretion. It directly affects law enforcement officers executing search warrants and residents living in homes or dwellings. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
