HB 1605 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

MS Artifical Intelligence and Stem Eduaction Act; create.

HB 1605, the Mississippi Artificial Intelligence and STEM Education Innovation Act, proposed a pilot program allowing public schools (Grades 6-12) to use AI tools for personalized STEM instruction, teacher support, and career pathways, with priority for underperforming, rural, and high-poverty schools. Key provisions included requiring compliance with student data privacy laws (FERPA and state rules), prohibiting AI use in teacher evaluations, and mandating professional development for educators. The bill required annual reports on student outcomes and costs, with the program set to expire in 2030 unless renewed. The bill was referred to committee but died there in February 2026 and never became law.
