HB 370 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Racial Profiling Prevention Act; create.

HB 370, the "Racial Profiling Prevention Act," would require all Mississippi law enforcement agencies (including sheriff's offices, police departments, and the Department of Public Safety) to collect and report specific data during traffic stops to prevent racial profiling. Key provisions mandate recording the race, ethnicity, gender, and reason for stops, submitting complaints about alleged profiling to local district attorneys, and providing annual reports to the Attorney General for compilation and submission to the Governor and Legislature. The bill aims to increase transparency by tracking stop data and complaints, with penalties for noncompliance including state fund withholdings. It died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
