Governor Reeves signed Executive Order 1551 on April 30, 2021, in which mask mandates were removed, and instead, all persons were encouraged to follow CDC guidelines. This Executive Order is to remain in place until repealed or amended. Guidelines are set out in Executive Order 1551, and businesses were encouraged to make good faith efforts to follow those guidelines. Face coverings are still required for the remainder of the 2020-2021 academic year in all school buildings and classrooms, with limited exceptions. This requirement for schools will expire on May 31, 2021. Local county and municipalities are allowed to require more stringent guidelines. The State Health Officer in consultation with the Governor’s office is authorized to issue such additional orders as are necessary to restrict the transmission of COVID-19. Jury trials have resumed in most of the civil courts in the State of Mississippi, and there are no state imposed moratoriums in effect for either foreclosures or evictions.

On July 23, 2020, the Mississippi Supreme Court issued an Order requiring that all persons entering courtrooms shall be masked at all times, unless the judge uses his/her discretion to permit temporary removal to insure the accuracy of the proceedings. Judges continue to be allowed discretion in controlling dockets. Trials are allowed to continue, with court proceedings limited to attorneys, parties, witnesses, bailiffs, and other necessary persons and staff, as determined by the trial judge. Courts may limit the number of persons summoned for jury duty to the minimum necessary. Further, judges have been granted the authority to extend juror age exceptions to persons 60 or older. Courts are encouraged to limit in-person contact by utilizing available technologies, including electronic filing, teleconferencing, and videoconferencing. On July 30, 2020, Governor Reeves issued Executive Order No. 1515, which extends the safe return restrictions and social distancing guidelines, while also imposing facial masks requirements in numerous counties. This is set to expire on August 17, 2020, unless otherwise extended. There are currently no state imposed restrictions on foreclosures or evictions in the State of Mississippi.

Mississippi courts and clerks’ offices remain open and operational at this time. However, the determination as to whether to hold in court-hearings and trials that will involve less than 50 people is to be made at the discretion of each individual judge beginning on March 15, 2020 and extending through at least May 15, 2020. Trials or hearings that would necessitate gatherings of 50 people or more during the same time period are prohibited via Mississippi Supreme Court Order. No filing deadlines that are set to expire during this period have been extended at this time. All bankruptcy hearings are continuing as previously scheduled, but are being held telephonically in both districts.
Mississippi presently has no state-specific moratoriums in place with regard to default servicing such as foreclosures, evictions, or collections cases. Mississippi law firms must adhere to the foreclosure and eviction moratoriums that have been set by the federal government.
