Mississippi Mandatory Bond Review Law; enact.

SB 2087, the "Mississippi Mandatory Bond Review Law," would have required courts to implement specific timelines for reviewing pretrial detention in Mississippi. It mandated an initial bond hearing within 72 hours of arrest, a first bond review within 14 days of detention, and subsequent reviews every 45 days for individuals held in custody. The bill required courts to consider specific factors (like flight risk and danger to the community) and created a presumption of release unless the court documented specific reasons for continued detention. Defense attorneys would have been notified and allowed to participate in all reviews, with written justifications required when bond was denied or not reduced. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law.
