DUI; require a minimum hold upon arrest for.

HB 1496 would have required law enforcement to detain individuals arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) for a minimum period before release. The bill aimed to amend Mississippi’s DUI statute (Section 63-11-30) to mandate this hold, directly affecting drivers arrested for DUI offenses. However, the provided bill text does not include the proposed hold requirement - it instead details existing penalty structures for DUI convictions (e.g., fines, jail time, treatment programs). The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law. Thus, no new detention requirements were implemented under this legislation.
