Mississippi HR8 requires a racial and ethnic impact statement for all legislation affecting criminal offenses, sentencing, parole, or probation.
Mississippi HR8 amends House Rules to mandate a racial and ethnic impact statement for any bill, resolution, or amendment that changes criminal laws, penalties, or procedures. This statement must estimate changes in racial and ethnic composition of the criminal offender population and crime victims. The Office of Public Safety Planning, in consultation with the Department of Corrections, prepares these statements. The Department of Finance and Administration creates a standardized form for state agencies to use in grant applications.
