MS SB2031
Bill
AI Summary
- Lowers Mississippi's age of majority from 21 to 18 years, making 18 the standard legal age for adulthood across state statutes
- Redefines "infant" and "minor" in state code to mean persons under 18 rather than under 21, with exceptions where other sections specifically provide otherwise
- Adjusts jury service eligibility, marriage license requirements, and child support obligations to align with the new 18-year threshold
- Modifies controlled substance distribution penalties so that adults 18 and older face enhanced penalties for distributing to minors under 18
- Repeals existing provisions that allowed removal of minority disabilities for veterans and certain estate executors, as these become unnecessary with the lowered age of majority
