SB 2084 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Sex offender registry; revise term "sex offense" to include a conviction of incest.

SB 2084 amends Mississippi's sex offender registration law to require registration for individuals convicted of incest. It adds "incest" (specifically under Section 97-29-5) to the list of offenses that trigger mandatory registration under the state's sex offender registry. This change directly affects people convicted of incest in Mississippi or other jurisdictions, requiring them to register with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. The bill does not alter existing registration requirements or penalties but expands which offenses qualify as "sex offenses" under the registry law.
