Mississippi bill to allow religious and conscience vaccine exemptions died in committee
Mississippi lawmakers filed many freedom bills in 2026, including a religious and conscience vaccine exemption, raw milk sales, on-farm food sales, homeschool sports access, ending required fluoridation, a geoengineering ban, and anti-debanking rules. None advanced out of committee. A bill to require homeschool academic file submissions also died in committee.
No upcoming Mississippi events listed yet. We add rallies, public hearings, board meetings and other ways to show up as we find them. Know of one? Tell us.
Stop politically driven debanking
Creates the Mississippi Fair Banking Standards Act, barring state regulators from pressuring banks to close accounts based on nonquantitative factors and creating a complaint process for debanking.
No one should lose access to banking because of their beliefs or lawful activity.
Ban geoengineering
Defines geoengineering in state pollution law, prohibits it in Mississippi, and creates penalties.
Residents should not be subjected to substances released into the air without their consent.
Allow religious and conscience vaccine exemptions
Exempts a child from school or college vaccine requirements if a parent submits a letter or affidavit stating which vaccines were declined for religious, philosophical, or conscientious reasons.
Parents should be able to decline vaccines that conflict with their beliefs without losing access to school.
Legalize raw milk sales to consumers
Authorizes the sale of raw milk to individual consumers and sets labeling requirements.
Families should be free to buy raw milk directly from farmers they trust.
Protect on-farm sales and food freedom
Creates the Mississippi On-Farm Sales and Food Freedom Act, barring local governments from regulating certain farm practices on private property or restricting direct producer-to-consumer sales of unprocessed farm products.
Farmers and neighbors should be free to buy and sell food directly without needless local restrictions.
Let homeschoolers play school sports
The Tim Tebow Act lets homeschooled students take part in extracurricular activities at their assigned public school and bars discrimination in team selection.
Homeschooled children should have fair access to activities their families help pay for.
Require homeschool academic file submissions
Requires compulsory school attendance enforcement to use licensed social workers and requires parents of homeschooled children to submit academic files.
Parents, not the state, should oversee their children's home education without new reporting rules.
End required water fluoridation
Provides that the State Board of Health shall not require public water systems to fluoridate water or install fluoridation equipment.
People should choose for themselves whether to take fluoride rather than receive it through the water supply.
