SB 2480 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Youth Court Intake Officers; prohibit certain state agency personnel from performing functions of.

SB 2480 would have restricted who can serve as Youth Court Intake Officers in Mississippi, requiring only employees of the Administrative Office of Courts (AOC) to handle these duties. It would have barred all other state agency staff - such as those from the Department of Human Services or Child Protection Services - from performing intake functions like entering case data into the state's youth court information system (MYCIDS). The bill also mandated annual training for intake officers and included a sunset provision requiring the law to expire on July 1, 2026. However, this bill died in committee on March 4, 2025, and never became law.
