Mississippi SB2379 amends Section 43-21-261 of the Mississippi Code to authorize a member of the Legislature to inspect youth court records upon receiving prior written consent from the child's parent, guardian, or custodian. The bill outlines specific requirements for the written release form and extends the repeal date of this section to July 1, 2029.
