  • ACLU of Mississippi Is Proud to Present the 2015 Legislative Score Card
    A Measurement of Progress on Issues of Equity and Inclusion in Mississippi. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 2015 Legislative Score Card 7 Commitment to Criminal Justice Reform 8 Extend Equality to All Mississippians 11 Guarantee Freedom of Speech, Expression, Protecting Privacy & Public Access 17 Other Legislative Actions 18 Other Resolutions 18 The Scorecard 19 House of Representatives 20 Senate 25 Notes 27 Introduction Mississippi’s statistics about disparities in education, employment, health, incarceration and other equitable opportunities are all too familiar. Familiarity with the dismal indicators, however, cannot breed acquiescence. This does not have to be the legacy of our state. We do not need governmental leadership nor Mississippi’s citizens to accept being last. Instead, we need courageous leadership with an intentional commitment to equity, a willingness to change the narrative and genuine community engagement. Mississippi is Failing to Thrive. It is time we stop being last. www.aclu-ms.org 3 Mississippi has some of the highest equity disparities in the country. Poverty Mississippi continues to be the poorest state in the nation. • “While working hard, many of Mississippi’s families fall short of economic security. According to an analysis of data from the U.S. Census, approximately 42% of Mississippi’s working families are low-income and 22% of residents live in poverty.” (http://mepconline.org/category/policy-areas/income-working-families) • Alongside poverty, disparity continues to loom. For children the poverty rate is 35%, for senior citizens the poverty rate is 18% and for women the poverty rate is 25.9%. There are 253,000 Black children below 200% poverty.

  • Expenses and Appropriations of the Mississippi Legislature
    EXPENSES AND APPROPRIATIONS OF THE MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE 2005 REGULAR SESSION JUNE 2005 OFFICE OF THE STATE AUDITOR PHIL BRYANT Auditor June 3, 2005 Governor Haley Barbour Lt. Governor Amy Tuck Speaker of the House Billy McCoy Members of the Legislature The New Capitol Building Jackson, Mississippi As you are aware, Section 113 of the Mississippi Constitution states, “The auditor shall, within sixty days after the adjournment of the legislature, prepare and publish a full statement of all money expended at such session, specifying the items and amount of each item, and to whom, and for what paid; and he shall also publish the amounts of all appropriations.” It is important to remember the following compliance report is prepared by the Department of Finance and Administration in accordance with Section 7-7-45, Mississippi Code, Annotated (1972). Any specific questions regarding the report would best be directed to the Department of Finance and Administration. During the 2005 Regular Session of the Mississippi Legislature, appropriations for Fiscal Year 2006 were only $10,800 from the General Fund. There were no appropriations made from special funds or funds managed outside the State Treasury. During the 2005 Regular Session, the Legislature re- appropriated $18,818,023 of Fiscal Year 2005 appropriations for Fiscal Year 2006. As a result of the Legislature making only one appropria tion during the 2005 Regular Session, the Governor called a special session of the Legislature in May 2005 to address Fiscal Year 2006 appropriations. Appropriations made during this special session were not available at the date of this report.

  • The Voting Rights Act and Mississippi: 1965–2006
    THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND MISSISSIPPI: 1965–2006 ROBERT MCDUFF* INTRODUCTION Mississippi is the poorest state in the union. Its population is 36% black, the highest of any of the fifty states.1 Resistance to the civil rights movement was as bitter and violent there as anywhere. State and local of- ficials frequently erected obstacles to prevent black people from voting, and those obstacles were a centerpiece of the evidence presented to Con- gress to support passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.2 After the Act was passed, Mississippi’s government worked hard to undermine it. In its 1966 session, the state legislature changed a number of the voting laws to limit the influence of the newly enfranchised black voters, and Mississippi officials refused to submit those changes for preclearance as required by Section 5 of the Act.3 Black citizens filed a court challenge to several of those provisions, leading to the U.S. Supreme Court’s watershed 1969 de- cision in Allen v. State Board of Elections, which held that the state could not implement the provisions, unless they were approved under Section 5.4 Dramatic changes have occurred since then. Mississippi has the high- est number of black elected officials in the country. One of its four mem- bers in the U.S. House of Representatives is black. Twenty-seven percent of the members of the state legislature are black. Many of the local gov- ernmental bodies are integrated, and 31% of the members of the county governing boards, known as boards of supervisors, are black.5 * Civil rights and voting rights lawyer in Mississippi.

Congress St. P.O. Box 136 Ja~.:k.son, MS 39205 Secretary Hosemann, In a recent letter to Governor Phil Bryant, your Chief of Staff Doug Davis made several assertions regarding Senate Bill 2362 and House Bill 878 passed during the 2016 legislative session. In the letter, Mr. Davis identifies eleven sources of funds the Secretary of State intends to draw down in order to meet the $18,000,000 transfer requirement ofT-louse Bill 878. In e-ach section, he lists services and local tumbacks that may be effected due to these pieces of legislation. Unfortunately, Mr. Davis is mistaken as tu the impact of these bills. We hope this letter will clarify any misunderstanding you have regarding these new laws: I. $2,689,459 Elections Support Fund- The Secretary's request for authority to divert $1,21 5,000 from for FY20 17 was fully funded in SB2916. This transfer will have no effect on coumies or municipalities. 2. $1,936,543 Public Trust Tidelands Assessment Fund - Because the Secretary of State's Office views this fund as an off budget fund, there was no request of the Legislature for authority to spend from this account.

SOMMER 767 North Congress Street LAMBDA LEGAL DEFENSE & Jackson, MS 39202 EDUCATION FUND, INC. 120 Wall Street, 19th Floor BETH L. ORLANSKY New York, NY 10005 MISSISSIPPI CENTER FOR JUSTICE ELIZABETH LITTRELL P.O. Box 1023 LAMBDA LEGAL DEFENSE & Jackson, MS 39215-1023 EDUCATION FUND, INC. 730 Peachtree Street Suite 640 Atlanta, GA 30308 i QUESTIONS PRESENTED In Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584 (2015), this Court held that the Constitution entitles same- sex couples to join in civil marriage on the same terms as different-sex couples. In response, Missis- sippi enacted the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act, Miss. Code Ann. § 11-62-1 et seq. (2016) (“HB 1523”). HB 1523 grants broad immunity to any person who commits enumerated acts of discrimination on the basis of religious beliefs or moral convictions opposing mar- riage of same-sex couples; transgender individuals; and sexual relations outside of a male-female mar- riage. The court of appeals held that petitioners, who do not share the endorsed beliefs, lack standing un- der the Establishment Clause because the religious endorsement takes the form of a statute rather than a religious display that they can physically encoun- ter, and held that they lack standing under the Equal Protection Clause because they have suffered no unequal treatment.
