Telecommunication or electronic harassment; provide aggravated charge for crime when against first responders or dispatchers.

SB 2324 amends Mississippi law to impose harsher penalties for telecommunication or electronic harassment targeting specific public safety personnel. It increases fines and potential jail time for first offenses against law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical staff, or public safety dispatchers - doubling penalties compared to standard harassment charges. The bill does not create new harassment offenses but adds aggravated penalties when the victim is a first responder acting in their official capacity. This proposed law died in committee in February 2025 and has not become law.
