Youth and Community Safety Act; create.

HB 94, the Youth and Community Safety Act, requires Mississippi schools to report unlawful incidents (like fights or drug use) to districts, which must submit quarterly reports to the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) starting in 2026. The MDE would then publish annual public reports showing student referrals to juvenile justice, broken down by race and ethnicity, and develop training for schools on reducing arrests through alternatives like restorative practices. The bill also mandates MDE to create strategies for schools, law enforcement, and communities to collaborate on preventing youth involvement in the justice system. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
