Electronic signatures; authorize for any warrants and domestic abuse protection orders.

HB 1143 allows electronic signatures on warrants and domestic abuse protection orders in Mississippi, meaning these legal documents can be signed digitally without losing legal validity. It requires secure digital systems with encryption and authentication to verify signatures, and electronic signatures satisfy constitutional oath requirements if made under penalty of perjury. The bill specifically excludes no-knock warrants from this electronic process and mandates that applicants still meet with a judge via video or in person before electronic warrants are issued. This change directly affects law enforcement, courts, and individuals seeking protection orders or warrants in Mississippi.
