Bill Summary · HB 924

Legislative bill overview

HB 924, the Creating Logic for Efficiency and Accountability (CLEAR) Act, was legislation introduced in Mississippi by Representatives Kevin Ford and Kevin Felsher. The bill progressed through the legislative process, was enrolled and signed, but was subsequently vetoed by the Governor on April 24, 2025.

Why is this important

The bill's veto means it did not become law, making the specific substantive provisions moot unless the legislature attempts a veto override. The legislative history shows the bill achieved significant support (conference report adoption, enrollment, and initial signature), indicating it addressed priorities of the legislative majority, though the Governor's concerns remain undisclosed without the veto message.

Potential points of contention

  • Limited public information: The bill's actual text and provisions are not available in this summary, making it difficult to assess what specific government efficiency or accountability measures were controversial enough to warrant a gubernatorial veto
  • Veto reasoning unclear: Without the Governor's veto message, legislators and the public cannot definitively understand the executive branch's objections
  • Veto override possibility: The legislature retains the option to attempt an override vote, indicating unresolved disagreement between branches on this legislation's merit
