State of Mississippi; not required to recognize any mandates, orders or laws by certain entities.
HB 1314 prevents the State of Mississippi from complying with or recognizing mandates, orders, or laws from international organizations (like WHO, IMF, or military groups) or non-elected bodies. It requires the Mississippi Legislature to formally approve any such mandate through legislation before the state can recognize it. The bill directly affects Mississippi state agencies and officials who would otherwise be bound by external directives. Exceptions apply only to entities composed of state/federally elected officials or U.S. citizens appointed by them. This policy change shifts authority to the state legislature for all external mandates, excluding only those already enacted by lawmakers.
