Post-Conviction Collateral Relief; require to obtain permission from Supreme Court for certain petitions.

Summary

The bill makes it mandatory for anyone seeking post‑conviction collateral relief to obtain leave from the Mississippi Supreme Court before filing the motion in a trial court when a prior motion was denied and affirmed, or when more than three years have passed since the appeal deadline. It adds a gate‑keeping step to limit late or repeated filings and to give the Supreme Court oversight of such petitions.
