Polygraph Examiners Law; revise definition of the term "Polygraph examiner."
SB 2115 updates Mississippi's definition of "polygraph examiner" in the Polygraph Examiners Law to specify that it refers to "any person who uses a polygraph instrument to test or question individuals for the purpose of verifying the truth of statements." The bill directly affects individuals who currently work as polygraph examiners by clarifying the legal scope of the term under state law. It revises Section 73-29-3 of the Mississippi Code without adding new requirements or restrictions. The bill was scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026, but died in committee before becoming law.
