    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.

  • Legislative Update 2/02/16 (PDF)
    The Mississippi Legislature is entering their fifth week of work for the 2016 Legislative Session. It has been a relatively slow start this year as both the House and Senate spent the first few weeks getting organized with the beginning of this new four year term. Under the deadline schedule adopted by the House Wednesday, the 125-day session, originally set to end May 8, will wrap up April 24. The deadline to introduce general legislation will now be Thursday of this week and committees have to act on those bills by Feb. 23. The Senate should vote this week on these proposed deadlines. Committee work will begin in earnest this week. You will find the current list of MAR’s Legislative Priorities HERE Some quick highlights from the first few weeks include: Representative Phillip Gunn (R-Clinton) was reelected as Speaker of the House by unanimous vote. Representative Greg Snowden (R-Meridian) was reelected Speaker Pro-Temp of the House by Unanimous Vote Senator Terry Burton (R-Newton) was elected Senate Pro-Temp by unanimous vote. The House of Representatives recommended overturning a Democratic lawmaker’s victory in an election that went to a tiebreaker. The House voted to seat Republican challenger Mark Tullos of Raleigh rather than Democratic Rep. Bo Eaton of Taylorsville. The two tied in the November election in District 79 in Smith and Jasper counties. Eaton won a tiebreaker in a drawing of straws overseen by the governor and secretary of state. Tullos filed an appeal and asked the House to declare him the winner.
