The Senate has 52 members and the House has 122 members. Members in both chambers serve four year terms. Mississippi does not have term limits. To qualify to run for office in either chamber you must be a registered voter in the state for four years and a resident of the district in which you are running for at least two years prior to the election. To run for the Senate you must be at least 25 years of age and at least 21 years of age to run for the Mississippi House. The Mississippi constitution dictates the regular session on the Tuesday following the first Monday in January of each year.

The sessions can be extended by a two thirds vote of both chambers.

Bill Information

There are currently no bills that are active in the current Legislative Session and pertain to the Mechanical Insulation industry.

There are many instances where Mechanical Insulation, Firestopping and other construction issues are prevalent and relevant to our industry in legislation that is not at the state level.

Campaigning for work in educational facilities, industrial plants, manufacturing facilities, medical facilities and office/residential facilities often position our industry to be successful.

If you know of any upcoming legislation or efforts being campaigned for this state, please contact the LMCT.

When a bill is introduced for the state-wide efforts, we will update this section.
