AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Supreme Court & Voting Rights: The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a major blow to Trump’s push against mail voting, ruling 5-4 that Mississippi (and other states) can count absentee ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive up to five business days later, rejecting an RNC challenge and keeping grace-period rules in place ahead of the 2026 midterms. State Politics: Mississippi leaders are already weighing what to do next, with Gov. Tate Reeves signaling interest in tightening deadlines even as voting-rights groups say the ruling protects voters from postal delays. Health Policy: Mississippi’s biggest insurer reversed course on covering PrEP meds after complaints and public pressure, following remarks from the state insurance commissioner that sparked an “alternate lifestyles” fight. New Laws July 1: A roundup of Mississippi measures taking effect next month spans pay raises for school staff, expanded education topics, tougher penalties for some crimes, and new rules tied to immigration and health care. Business/Justice: Cal-Maine Foods reached a resolution with the DOJ and 17 state attorneys general over claims tied to egg-industry pricing practices. Local Legal Fallout: Jody Owens pleaded guilty to a federal bribery conspiracy charge and faces likely steps that could cost him his ability to practice law. Weather/Community: Extreme heat continues to be a concern across the region as people plan for Fourth of July safety.
