AI Summary
This bill creates a new section in the Mississippi Code of 1972 that provides an automatic defense to prosecution for any charge related to a controlled substance that is brought within two years of the federal declassification of that substance. The bill allows the State Health Officer to issue an order that mirrors the federal classification or declassification of a controlled substance, but this order is only effective for two years and does not apply to criminal purposes. The automatic defense would bar prosecution of any charges related to the federally declassified substance during that two-year period.
