SB 2092 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Legislative offices; define vacancy.

SB 2092 is a proposed bill that defines what constitutes a vacancy in Mississippi's state legislature, directly affecting legislators and voters in districts with vacancies. It lists specific events causing vacancies (e.g., death, resignation, felony conviction, loss of voter registration) and requires the Governor to issue special election writs within 30 days, with 85 days' notice to voters - unless a general election occurs that year, when the Governor may skip the special election. The bill would have taken effect July 1, 2026, but died in committee in February 2026 and never became law. This is a procedural change to standardize vacancy handling, not a policy affecting public services or funding.
