MS SB2437

Increases the voter approval threshold for school bond issuance from a simple majority to 55% of qualified electors voting in Mississippi Code Sections 37-59-17 and 37-59-105.

Applies the 55% requirement to both general school bonds and certificates of indebtedness issued by school districts.

School boards must determine if 55% of voters approved bond issuance; bonds cannot be issued without this threshold being met.

Requires the Attorney General to submit the act to the U.S. Department of Justice for Voting Rights Act compliance review before taking effect.

Act becomes effective upon approval under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended.
