Purple Angels Law; create to require registry of persistent domestic violence offenders.

HB 1312, the "Purple Angels Law," would require Mississippi to create a public registry of individuals convicted of multiple domestic violence offenses against the same victim (defined as having at least one prior conviction for such an offense). It mandates courts to send offender details to the Department of Public Safety, which would maintain the registry online with basic information like name, date of birth, and photo (excluding Social Security numbers). Offenders would pay a $250 registration fee, with $150 directed to domestic violence prevention services. The registry would automatically remove names after 5-20 years based on prior convictions or permanently for felony repeat offenders, but the bill died in committee in February 2026.
