AI Summary

  • Amends Rule 74 of the 2016-2020 Rules of the Mississippi House of Representatives to prohibit questions of privilege

  • Replaces the existing rule text with the simple statement that questions of privilege "shall not be allowed"
  • Introduced by Representative White and referred to the Rules Committee during the 2016 Regular Session
