Appeal bond for nonmonetary judgment; authorize for estimated monetary injury that would be incurred following a hearing.

Mississippi's SB 2737 amends the state's appeal bond rules to allow appellants challenging nonmonetary court judgments (like injunctions) to post a bond based on estimated monetary harm they would face during the appeal. To qualify, appellants must prove at an evidentiary hearing the estimated financial loss from the judgment's enforcement, with the bond amount set to cover that harm - capped at 50% of the appellant's net worth or $35 million, whichever is lower. This change directly affects individuals or entities appealing nonmonetary rulings, replacing the previous requirement to post a full judgment bond. The bill applies to all nonmonetary judgments entered on or after July 1, 2016, and takes effect July 1, 2026.
