HR 9 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

House Rules; amend to create a new rule that requires each committee's agenda to be published 24 hours before the meeting.

HR 9 would require Mississippi House committees to publish their meeting agendas online at least 24 hours in advance (or 1 hour for non-standard meetings), including the names of bills to be discussed and links to their texts. This rule applies to all standing committees except the Rules Committee, Management Committee, joint/subcommittees, and hearings where no bills will be voted on. Once published, committees cannot alter the agenda or discuss items not listed online. The bill aims to increase transparency by ensuring the public has clear, timely access to committee discussion topics before meetings.
