MS HB610

Establishes a pretrial intervention program allowing municipal prosecuting attorneys to divert misdemeanor offenders to pick up litter on public streets instead of serving jail time, with municipal court judge approval and governing authority authorization.

Requires offenders to be at least 18 years old with no significant criminal history, pose no community threat, and meet other eligibility criteria including attorney representation and sufficient police supervision availability.

Offenders must waive speedy trial rights, agree to tolling of statute of limitations, accept program conditions without entering a guilty plea, and waive extradition; program duration cannot exceed one year.

Upon successful completion, charges are dismissed as a noncriminal disposition; if offender violates program conditions, prosecution resumes and waivers become void.

Amends Mississippi Code Section 21-23-7 to authorize municipal judges to establish and operate the "Keeping Our Municipalities Clean Pretrial Intervention Program" as part of their discretionary sentencing authority.
