Probation or post-release supervision of an inmate; clarify revocation.
Mississippi Senate Bill 2777 clarifies that probation, post-release supervision, or suspended sentence may be revoked if a person commits a new felony offense *before* their supervision period begins. This directly affects individuals sentenced to these supervision terms who commit a felony prior to the start date of their supervision. The bill amends Mississippi Code 47-7-37.1 to state that such pre-commencement felonies trigger revocation "the same as if it had already commenced," aligning with existing revocation rules for violations during active supervision. The law takes effect July 1, 2026.
