Mississippi Video Service Act; enact.

SB 2781, the Mississippi Video Service Act, would have created a new regulatory framework for video service providers (like cable companies) in Mississippi. It required providers to obtain a franchise permit from the state or local government, pay a fee based on their gross revenue, and maintain records of that revenue for audits. The bill also established service standards, defined "video service" to exclude streaming and satellite services, and governed how providers use public rights-of-way. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
