SB 2138 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Supreme Court districts; bring forward provisions related to.

SB 2138 is a procedural bill that moves several existing sections of Mississippi law to new locations in the state code for potential future amendment. It relocates provisions related to Supreme Court districts (including current county boundaries), the eight-year term for justices, election procedures for Supreme Court judges, the Mississippi Hospital Equipment and Facilities Authority, the State Highway Commission, and the Public Service Commission. The bill itself does not change any policies or create new requirements - it only reorganizes where these existing laws appear in the legal code. This makes the text easier to reference during future legislative review or proposed changes.
