Summary
The bill changes Mississippi licensing rules so a prior conviction can only block a license if it is directly tied to the job’s duties. It also eliminates vague language like “moral turpitude” or “felony” from qualification standards. The changes would apply to most licensed occupations but not to admission to the state bar.
