SB 2791 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Purple Angels Law; enact to create a persistent-domestic-violence-offender registry within the Department of Public Safety.

SB 2791, the "Purple Angels Law," creates a public registry within Mississippi's Department of Public Safety for offenders convicted of domestic violence with at least one prior conviction for the same offense against the same victim. Courts must order registration upon qualifying conviction, requiring offenders to pay a $250 fee: $150 funds domestic violence prevention services, $50 covers registry administration, and $50 covers court processing. The registry includes basic identifying information (name, DOB, photo) but excludes sensitive IDs like driver's license numbers. Offenders are removed after 5-20 years based on prior convictions, but never for felony convictions, with the law taking effect July 1, 2026.
