MS HB1397

Tort Claims Board must create a publicly accessible online registry by July 1, 2026, listing all governmental entities required to have certificates of coverage, including the name, email address, and mailing address of each entity's Chief Executive Officer

Governmental entities are required to provide and maintain current contact information for their Chief Executive Officers to the Tort Claims Board for inclusion in the registry

If registry information is incorrect when a notice of claim is served, the one-year statute of limitations for filing tort claims is tolled until correct information is listed

Courts cannot dismiss complaints based on incorrect registry information when the complaint is otherwise properly filed

Amends Mississippi Code Sections 11-46-20 and 11-46-11 to conform tolling provisions with the new registry requirements
