Habitual misdemeanor offender; provide sentencing enhancement for.

SB 2076 would have reclassified individuals convicted of four or more specific misdemeanors within three years as "habitual misdemeanor offenders," elevating their current misdemeanor charge to a felony. This change would have applied to defendants meeting strict criteria: four separate misdemeanor offenses (excluding those from the same criminal episode) committed within a three-year window prior to the current charge. If convicted as a habitual offender, the person would face a felony conviction and a maximum two-year prison sentence in Mississippi's Department of Corrections. The bill, which died in committee on February 3, 2026, was never enacted into law.
