SB 2199 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Domestic violence; amend certain provisions related to.

SB 2199 requires Mississippi judges to impose a 24-48 hour holding period before releasing defendants charged with domestic violence offenses (including misdemeanors and aggravated cases) on bail. It mandates that courts order GPS monitoring devices for such defendants, which must be installed before release and cannot be removed without court approval, while also requiring defendants to stay away from victims' residences, schools, or workplaces. The bill also requires courts to provide victims with detailed information about GPS monitoring options and safety protocols before imposing these conditions. The legislation died in committee on February 4, 2025, and would have affected defendants, judges, and victims in domestic violence cases.
