Mississippi Safe Dormitories Act; enact.

SB 2345, the "Mississippi Safe Dormitories Act," proposed requiring all public universities and colleges in Mississippi to provide single-sex dormitories where members of the opposite biological sex are not permitted as guests or visitors, except in designated public areas. It would have prohibited employees from having romantic or sexual relationships with students they supervise and barred certain students (those subject to sex offender registration) from residing in campus housing. The bill also mandated institutions to develop safety programs, share policy information publicly, and created civil penalties for violations, including monetary fines. The legislation died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law. It directly affected all students living on campus, university employees with authority over students, and public higher education institutions.
