Noncustodial Parents' Bill of Rights and Responsibilities; create.

HB 1064 would establish a "Noncustodial Parents' Bill of Rights and Responsibilities" for all noncustodial parents in Mississippi, requiring the Department of Human Services to provide specific notification rights and communication access. Key provisions include advance notice of child support modifications, court hearings, and meetings about the child, plus 24/7 access to contact department staff. The bill also includes updated procedures for voluntary paternity acknowledgments at birth but centers on enhancing noncustodial parents' information and communication rights. This legislation, which died in committee in February 2026, did not become law.
