HB 1586 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Revocation of probation, post-release supervision or suspension of sentencing; authorize before commencement if new felony committed.

This bill allows Mississippi courts to revoke probation, post-release supervision, or suspended sentences *before* they begin if a person commits a new felony crime *before* their supervision period starts. Currently, revocation typically requires violations after supervision has commenced. The law maintains the existing "clear and convincing evidence" standard for revocation but extends the timeframe to include new felonies committed prior to the start date of supervision. It directly affects individuals sentenced to probation or supervision who commit new crimes while awaiting their supervision period to begin. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, though its stated repeal date (June 30, 2026) appears contradictory.
