HB 1487 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Mississippi Athletic Commission; remove wrestling from under the supervision of.

HB 1487 repositions an existing exemption for school wrestling within Mississippi's athletic regulations. The bill moves Section 75-75-123 (which already exempts high school and college wrestling matches from the Mississippi Athletic Commission's oversight) to a more logical position in the code. It does not change the exemption itself - wrestling matches in schools were already excluded from the Commission's jurisdiction. The bill only adjusts the legal citation structure to align with other provisions, affecting only school athletic programs directly. The bill died in committee and never became law.
