Failure to register; enable revocation of bond by increasing criminal penalty.

Mississippi's SB 2207 amends state law to increase the maximum jail sentence for sex offenders who fail to register or comply with registration requirements. Specifically, it raises the penalty from "five (5) years" to "five (5) years and one (1) day" for violations of registration laws. The bill directly affects sex offenders required to register under Mississippi law who skip registration, reregistration, or electronic monitoring. It does not change registration requirements but increases criminal penalties for noncompliance. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and was never enacted.
