SB 2919 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Ballot initiatives; bring forward code sections concerning.

SB 2919 is a procedural bill that renumbers existing sections of Mississippi law related to ballot initiatives (specifically sections 23-17-1 through 23-17-61) to new section numbers. It does not change any substantive requirements for ballot initiatives, such as petition filing deadlines, revenue disclosure rules, or the Attorney General's review process. The bill solely updates the code's structure for administrative clarity, making it easier to reference these provisions in future amendments. This affects state officials who administer ballot initiatives (like the Secretary of State and Attorney General) but does not alter how citizens or petitioners interact with the process.
