Polygraph examiners law; revise to include computer voice stress analyzer examiners and authorize use of CVSA examinations.

HB 1196 (Polygraph and Computer Voice Stress Analyzer Examiners Law) updates Mississippi's licensing framework for examiners to include Computer Voice Stress Analyzer (CVSA) professionals. The bill renames the existing polygraph law to explicitly cover CVSA examiners, defines CVSA as an instrument detecting voice stress patterns, and requires examiners to use specific equipment (e.g., devices recording voice frequency changes for CVSA). It affects licensed polygraph and CVSA examiners, the Polygraph and CVSA Examiners Board (now responsible for both), and establishes licensing standards, fees, and disciplinary procedures for both examiner types. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
