"Right to Know How Safe We Are Act"; create to require District Attorneys to report certain information with the Governor and Attorney General.
HB 1465, the "Right to Know How Safe We Are Act of 2025," would require Mississippi district attorneys' offices to submit annual reports by March 1 each year. These reports would include detailed, non-personal data on how each office handles cases - such as how many cases are accepted for prosecution, dismissed, or resolved through sentencing - organized by crime type. The Attorney General would then compile this data into a statewide, publicly accessible report sortable by jurisdiction and offense. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
