HB 1349 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Gaming Commission; authorize to collaborate with DHS for collection of child support.

HB 1349 requires the Mississippi Gaming Commission to work with the Department of Human Services to create rules for withholding gambling winnings from individuals with overdue child support payments. This would allow state child support agencies to use money won at Mississippi casinos and gaming venues to pay outstanding child support debts. The bill establishes a new procedure to encumber (hold) these winnings directly for child support payments. It directly affects people who owe child support and win money at gaming facilities, requiring collaboration between the Gaming Commission and DHS to implement the system.
