SC 508 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Joint Rules; amend to allow cosponsorship of bills, joint resolutions and concurrent resolutions originating in other house.

This bill (SC 508) would amend Mississippi's legislative rules to allow members of one chamber to cosponsor bills, joint resolutions, or concurrent resolutions that originated in the other chamber. Specifically, it would permit legislators in the house where a bill did not originate to add their name as a cosponsor after the bill has been transmitted to that house and passed. This change directly affects Mississippi state legislators by expanding opportunities for cross-chamber collaboration on legislation. The bill does not alter substantive policy but modifies procedural rules for cosponsorship.
