MS SB2391

Limits nonviolent habitual offender sentencing enhancements to felonies punishable by more than 5 years imprisonment, rather than all felonies

Requires both prior felony convictions to have occurred when the offender was 18 years of age or older to trigger enhanced sentencing

Mandates that prior sentences must have been actually served, not just imposed, for at least one year to count toward habitual status

Establishes a 10-year "washout" period where prior felony convictions cannot be used for sentencing enhancement if more than 10 years have passed since completing the prior sentence

Effective date of July 1, 2022
