Miss. legislators OK limits on attorney general
A measure to limit Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood’s ability to control state legal business is on the way to Republican Gov. Phil Bryant.
The Mississippi Senate voted 34-18 Wednesday to pass House Bill 211, after the House voted 64-55 for final passage Tuesday. Both chambers are controlled by Republicans.
Hood opposes the bill, saying it’s unconstitutional and would cost the state money.
