Mississippi Open to Religion Act; enact.

SB 2301, the "Mississippi Open to Religion Act," would require Mississippi public school districts and charter schools to adopt policies allowing students and employees daily voluntary opportunities for prayer and Bible or religious text reading on school campuses. Key provisions mandate signed consent forms from students' parents/guardians or employees (including waivers of legal claims under the First Amendment), prohibit public address system use for such activities, and require separate spaces for those who opt out. Compliance would begin with the 2026-2027 school year. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and is not currently law.
