Maddy summarySB 2918 prohibits Mississippi Insurance Commissioner candidates, current commissioners, and department employees from accepting campaign contributions from insurance companies or entities regulated by the department. It also bans those regulated entities from donating to such campaigns, with violations punishable by fines of $5,000 or up to one year in jail. If a recipient unknowingly receives a prohibited contribution, they must return its value to the Secretary of State within 30 days to avoid penalties. The bill defines "campaign contributions" broadly to include gifts or debt cancellations meant to influence elections, but excludes routine inquiries to the department. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law.

It also mandates incident reporting to the Mississippi State Department of Health for annual public review.
