Probation and parole; provide that technical violation of shall not include commission of new criminal offense.

SB 2116 amends Mississippi law to clarify that a "technical violation" of probation or parole does not include the commission of a new criminal offense. This change affects individuals on probation or parole, ensuring that new crimes are handled as separate criminal matters rather than being treated as a violation of supervision terms. The bill revises Sections 47-7-2 and 47-7-38 of the Mississippi Code to explicitly exclude new criminal offenses from the definition of "technical violation," aligning with existing legal intent. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not advance further.
