What did the Mississippi Legislature do in the 2026 session?

This is the freshest broad session scoreboard now in the file: more than 350 bills passed, the final teacher-pay deal and tax-credit moves survived, the budget rose about 3%, and the failed April veto push left candidates with a cleaner ledger on spending, education, healthcare, and governing control.
