Tasers and stun guns; prohibit use of by law enforcement officers.

HB 182 prohibits all Mississippi law enforcement officers from using, possessing, or deploying tasers or stun guns in their official duties, effective July 1, 2026. It requires law enforcement agencies to remove all such devices from active service by June 30, 2026, and transfer them to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety for destruction or redistribution. Violations could result in officer suspension/termination or agency fines up to $10,000 per incident. The bill, which amended Section 97-37-1 of Mississippi Code to explicitly ban officer use of these devices, died in committee on February 3, 2026.
