The Mississippi Legislature adjourned sine die on March 29.
House Bill 1205 was passed, prohibiting public agencies from requiring 501(c) entities to provide the public agency with the personal information of its members, supporters, volunteers or donors.
While the bill has been negatively characterized as allowing dark money contributions, it does not affect any provision of the state’s campaign finance statutes.
An end-of-session report is due 10 days following adjournment sine die of the Legislature.
However, the Secretary of State’s Office has not yet announced a revision to the April 17 due date.
