HB 730 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Unnatural intercourse law; revise to remove "mankind" from.

HB 730 would have amended Mississippi's criminal code (Section 97-29-59) to remove the word "mankind" from a statute describing bestiality offenses. The bill sought to correct a technical error in the law's wording without changing the offense or penalties (still punishable by up to 10 years in prison). It directly affected the legal text of the statute but did not alter the scope of the criminal prohibition. The bill was referred to committee in 2026 but died there without further action.
