Mississippi Center for Legal Services; require $15.00 collected from criminal and civil actions to be remitted to.

HB 1112 requires Mississippi circuit and chancery courts to remit $15 from every criminal or civil court action to the Civil Legal Assistance Fund. This fund, managed by the Supreme Court, must allocate all received monies to the Mississippi Center for Legal Services for providing free civil legal aid to low-income Mississippians. The bill specifies that funds cannot be used for prohibited matters or non-eligible clients per federal guidelines. The bill was referred to committees but died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
