Criminal justice system; prohibit discrimination.

HB 366 prohibits discrimination in Mississippi's criminal justice system and requires state and local government agencies involved in law enforcement, courts, and corrections to eliminate discriminatory practices. The bill mandates that agencies like police departments, prosecutors' offices, public defenders, courts, and mental health agencies provide employee training on antidiscrimination laws and adopt clear policies to prevent bias. It specifically targets equal treatment for people of protected classes (such as race or gender) during interactions within the criminal justice system. The law would take effect on July 1, 2026, if enacted.
