Bill Summary
An Act To Provide That No County, Municipality Or School District Of This State Shall Enforce A Foreign Law If Doing So Would Violate A Right Guaranteed To A Natural Person By The United States Constitution Or The Mississippi Constitution; To Provide That, If A County, Municipality Or School District Is Found To Be In Violation Of This Section, The School District Associated With The Noncompliant Local Government Unit Shall Not Be Entitled To The Funding Provided To Transferee School Districts Under Section 37-151-93 For The Following School Year; To Amend Section 37-151-93, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Conform; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits any county, municipality, or school district in Mississippi from enforcing a "foreign law," which is defined as any law or legal system other than those of the United States, other U.S. states, Native American tribes, or Mississippi itself, if doing so would violate rights guaranteed by the U.S. or Mississippi Constitutions. If a local government is found to be in violation, the associated school district will lose funding for "transferee school districts" under Section 37-151-93 for the following school year, which refers to funding provided to school districts that accept students transferring from other districts. The bill also amends Section 37-151-93 to reflect this new restriction on funding.
