MS SB2255

Lowers the age of majority in Mississippi from 21 to 18 years old, making conforming changes throughout state law to reflect this new age threshold.

Updates definitions of "infant" and "minor" in state statutes to reference age 18 instead of 21, with exceptions where other sections provide otherwise.

Modifies jury service eligibility, marriage license requirements, child support obligations, guardianship and conservatorship provisions, and emancipation laws to align with the new age of majority.

Repeals three sections providing for removal of disabilities of minority for certain veterans, executors/administrators, and married persons, as these protections become unnecessary at age 18.

Takes effect July 1, 2025.
