HB837

Mississippi HB837 would prohibit circuit court judges from allowing political candidates to address the public during court terms.

Mississippi HB837 aims to amend the Mississippi Code to prohibit circuit court judges from providing opportunities for political candidates to address the public during court terms. This includes candidates for Supreme Court justice, Court of Appeals judge, chancellor, or circuit judge positions. The bill also seeks to prevent candidates from aligning themselves with other candidates or political factions during primary or general election campaigns. Violations of these provisions could result in the forfeiture of a candidate's nomination or election.
