MS HB300

Grants immunity from civil liability to law enforcement officers when the person suing them was convicted of resisting arrest during the same incident that is the subject of the lawsuit

Requires three conditions for immunity to apply: the claimant must have been convicted of resisting arrest, the complete incident must be clearly recorded on audio or video, and the civil claim must be limited to excessive use of force

Explicitly excludes cases involving murder, capital murder, or manslaughter from the immunity protection, meaning officers can still be sued in those circumstances

Amends Section 11-46-9 of the Mississippi Code, which outlines various immunities for governmental entities and their employees
