SB 2056 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Contraception; provide right to obtain and engage in.

SB 2056 establishes a legal right for individuals to obtain and use contraception, including FDA-approved methods like pills, IUDs, and condoms, and for healthcare providers to offer these services. It prohibits state, county, or local governments from restricting access to FDA-approved contraceptives or implementing rules that hinder this right, unless the restriction is proven necessary for safety and no less restrictive alternative exists. The bill allows the Attorney General or affected individuals to sue for violations and requires courts to block restrictive laws. It takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not impact health insurance coverage requirements.
