MS HB967

Extends the repeal date of Mississippi's "Parker's Law" (Section 41-29-139.1) from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2028, keeping the fentanyl delivery resulting in death crime in effect for an additional three years.

Maintains penalties of 20 years to life imprisonment for persons who deliver fentanyl in exchange for value that results in another person's death through injection, oral ingestion, or inhalation.

Protects from prosecution anyone seeking medical assistance for a fentanyl overdose victim in good faith without intent to defraud, provided evidence is gained as a result of seeking that assistance.

Exempts drug users sharing fentanyl with associates from prosecution under this section, clarifying legislative intent targets dealers and profiteers, not addicts sharing drugs.

Requires the Joint Legislative Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review to submit annual reports of convictions under this section to the House and Senate Judiciary B Committees by January 5 each year.
