Mississippi Doxxing Prevention Act; create to prevent release of personal information with intent to harass.

Summary

The Mississippi Doxxing Prevention Act makes it illegal to publicly share a person’s Social Security number, home address, phone number or email when that person is a law‑enforcement officer, juror, court official, or similar, or a close relation of them, if the purpose is to harass or threaten. Violations are misdemeanors for a first offense and felonies for repeat offenses, with higher penalties if the targeted crime is violent. The bill also removes such information from public‑records requirements and tightens rules on jury‑selection disclosures.
