Mississippi Youth Court Reforms Urgent | Jackson News

Governor Tate Reeves is calling Mississippi lawmakers back for a special session this Wednesday to fix the state’s crumbling youth court system—laws that expired on June 30th and are now on the brink of collapse without urgent action. With a bipartisan deal already in place, the new reforms aim to better protect abused and neglected kids, ensure consistent full-time judges across the state, and restore critical legal frameworks—including rules for sharing confidential records—that vanished without renewal. The Supreme Court’s temporary fix expires July 24th, making this session a race against time. Governor Reeves is optimistic both parties will unite to pass lasting, effective reforms for Mississippi’s youth.
