SB 2886 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Mississippi Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team Law; enact.

SB 2886 creates a statewide domestic violence fatality review team within Mississippi's Department of Public Safety, along with optional local teams in each circuit court district. These teams review fatal and near-fatal domestic violence incidents, related matters, and suicides within their jurisdiction to identify prevention opportunities and improve responses from agencies and institutions. The law provides limited civil immunity for team members and strictly protects all information gathered during reviews from being used in court or disclosure. It requires diverse team membership and mandates that reviews examine community resources, laws, and responses to develop recommendations for better victim support.
