Simple assault fines and penalties; revise for deposits in certain funds.
HB 100 revises Mississippi law to redirect fines from certain simple assault convictions into the "Victims of Human Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation Fund" instead of the Mississippi Children's Trust Fund. It applies specifically to misdemeanor violations of assault laws (Section 97-3-7) and other related offenses like Section 97-3-54.1, requiring a $1,000 assessment per conviction to fund victim services. The bill would have taken effect July 1, 2025, but died in committee in February 2025. It directly affects individuals convicted of targeted assault crimes in Mississippi.
