AI Summary
This bill requires the Mississippi Secretary of State to establish and maintain a publicly accessible registry for private entities that have been contracted by a government entity to perform a governmental function and are therefore subject to the rights and remedies outlined in the Mississippi Tort Claims Act, which is a law that governs lawsuits against state and local government entities. These private entities will be mandated to register with the Secretary of State and must also prominently display a notice on their websites and in their printed materials indicating their status as being subject to the Mississippi Tort Claims Act. The bill also includes a provision for its own repeal, indicating it will be in effect from July 1, 2026, and will be repealed on June 30, 2026, suggesting a potential sunset clause or a placeholder for future legislative action.
