Involuntary manslaughter; include incitement to commit suicide.

HB 1312 amends Mississippi's manslaughter laws to make it a crime to knowingly incite another person to commit suicide through any communication method (including phone, social media, or electronic messages) when that incitement results in the person's death. This change directly affects individuals who encourage suicide online or via phone, as it expands manslaughter charges to cover these cases. The law specifies that such incitement leading to death constitutes manslaughter under Section 97-3-35, with penalties including up to 30 years in prison for "child homicide" cases involving minors. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
