SB 2095 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Warrantless search; odor of marijuana insufficient to provide probable cause for.

SB 2095 would prohibit law enforcement officers in Mississippi from conducting warrantless searches of homes, vehicles, or private property based solely on the odor of marijuana. It explicitly states that smelling marijuana alone cannot establish probable cause for such searches, requiring officers to have additional evidence. The bill would have applied to all state law enforcement and taken effect July 1, 2026. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
