Bench warrant notices; revise the process.

Complete·4/9/26

Mississippi HB1142 revises the process for issuing bench warrants and notifying sureties.

Mississippi HB1142 amends Section 99-5-25 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to allow the clerk of the court to notify sureties of bench warrants via United States mail or electronic mail. The clerk must provide this notification within ten working days of the court's order. Failure to notify within this timeframe constitutes prima facie evidence that the order should be set aside.
