Bill > SB2332

This bill amends Mississippi law to prohibit individuals required to register as sex offenders from being employed as "first responders," which are defined as paramedics, emergency medical technicians, or other individuals who respond to emergencies like fires or medical incidents, including those in volunteer organizations. Before such an individual can be employed as a first responder, they must obtain advance approval from the Director of the Department of Public Safety Sex Offender Registry. This change is being made to existing law that already restricts sex offenders from being present at schools or public beaches/campgrounds where minors congregate without specific approval.
