SB 2721 deletes a provision from Mississippi's property law (Section 89-10-5) that previously addressed squatters' rights. This change directly affects property owners and occupants by removing language related to how property use rights are managed. The bill's key mechanism is simply removing specific text from the existing statute, with no new rules added. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
