Mississippi's newest laws will take effect July 1, including tax cuts, medical marijuana and a new official state song. The Mississippi Legislative session, which ended in April, also saw the legislature pass a record budget, as states throughout the nation are flush with federal cash. The state's $7.32B budget, more than 9% larger than the previous one, was buttressed by $1.5B in federal relief funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. Over $295M in federal funding was left on the table, but the legislature will have an opportunity to spend that next session.
