AI Summary
This bill enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" into law in Mississippi. The agreement requires member states to conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, and to appoint their presidential electors based on the national popular vote winner, rather than the winner in their individual state. The bill also brings forward sections of the Mississippi Code related to the selection of presidential electors, but does not make any changes to them. The agreement will take effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral votes have enacted it, and a member state may withdraw, except within 6 months of the end of a president's term. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2024.
