Mississippi SB2225 modifies the habitual offender law by excluding prior felony convictions more than 10 years old.

Mississippi SB2225 amends the state's habitual offender law by excluding prior felony convictions that were completed more than 10 years before the current offense. This change means that such prior convictions will not be considered when determining if an offender should be sentenced as a habitual offender. The bill also specifies that the maximum sentence for such offenders cannot be reduced, suspended, or eligible for parole or probation. This act takes effect from July 1, 2026.
