Court reporters; increase fee charged per page.

Maddy summaryHB 1481 would have increased court reporters' fees for transcripts from $4.00 to a higher rate per page (though the bill text as written restates the existing $4.00 rate, creating inconsistency). The bill would have directly affected court reporters, who charge parties for transcripts, and the parties paying those costs. It died in committee in February 2025 and was never enacted. The bill text does not show a specific new fee amount, as it merely restated the current $4.00 rate without indicating an increase.

Department of Corrections; eliminate executive deputy commissioner from.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to remove the position of Executive Deputy Commissioner from the Mississippi Department of Corrections. The legislation aims to streamline the department's leadership structure by eliminating this specific role while maintaining other deputy commissioner positions for administration, community corrections, and institutions. By repealing the statutory requirement for an Executive Deputy Commissioner, the bill simplifies the chain of command within the state's corrections system. This change directly affects the department's organizational chart and the hiring practices for top-level administrative staff.

Sex offender registry; revise definitions for provisions of law that regulate.

Maddy summaryHB 1004 updates the definitions used in Mississippi's sex offender registry laws to clarify who must register, what crimes require registration, and which agencies are responsible for collecting information. The bill expands the list of registrable offenses to include various crimes involving minors and specific acts like voyeurism of children, while also clarifying that convictions from federal, military, and foreign courts count if they meet certain due process standards. It further defines key terms such as "conviction," "permanent residence," and "responsible agency" to specify that different law enforcement entities or courts handle registration depending on where an offender is released. Additionally, the legislation clarifies the jurisdictional time limits for courts to modify sentences and establishes confidentiality rules for peer review committees that oversee organ procurement organizations.
