Study on Dyslexia among inmates; authorize MDOC to conduct.
SB 2233 would have required the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) to study dyslexia prevalence among inmates. The bill mandated MDOC to screen inmates using approved methods, collect demographic and educational data (while protecting privacy under HIPAA and FERPA), and analyze links between dyslexia, education, discipline, and recidivism. MDOC would have submitted a report to the legislature by December 31, 2025, with recommendations for addressing dyslexia-related needs. The bill died on the calendar in March 2025 and never became law. It directly affected inmates in Mississippi's correctional facilities.
