HB 1433 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Bail bonds; require defendant to be returned to custody for failure to renew.

HB 1433 requires Mississippi courts to assess six months before a bail bond expires whether renewal is necessary. If a court determines renewal is required and a defendant fails to renew, the defendant must be returned to custody. The sheriff is directed to return the defendant to court in such cases. This applies specifically to defendants released on bail who do not renew bonds when the court has ordered renewal. The law would take effect July 1, 2026, but the bill died in committee as of the provided status.
