Law enforcement stops; require explanation during the stop.

HB 604 requires Mississippi law enforcement officers to immediately explain the reason for stopping or detaining a person during the stop itself. It applies to all officers (including those with authority to stop individuals) and directly affects people stopped by police. The bill mandates that officers articulate the reason for the stop while it is occurring, covering both consensual and nonconsensual detentions or searches. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
