OUR MISSION

AFP-Mississippi works for policy reforms that give every Mississippian the freedom to achieve the American Dream and rise as high as their talents will carry them. More choice, competition and freedom—not more bureaucracy—is the way to give them that chance. To achieve this goal, we focus on education, criminal justice reform, and fiscal discipline.

Education. We believe every child should have access to an excellent education. Parents are the best judges of their kids’ education needs. Parents should have the option to choose any public, private, charter, or home school for their child, regardless of where they live. We are also committed to strengthening public schools by making them less one-size-fits-all. We work for reforms that cut public school mandates so educators can focus on students.

Criminal Justice Reform. Our criminal justice system should focus on protecting us from offenders who represent a genuine threat to public safety. Incarcerating too many of our people for non-violent offenses hurts families and wastes precious taxpayer resources and is often counter-productive. Unreasonable barriers to offenders’ re-entry into society should be lowered so they can be productive citizens again.

Fiscal Discipline. We support restraining the growth of government spending and taxation so Mississippians can keep more of their hard-earned money. To restrain spending and taxation, we must ensure that government is restricted to its proper role. Mississippians make better decisions with their money than the government. We oppose government making investment decisions that should be made by private businesses and consumers.

FELLOW MISSISSIPPIANS, The 2019 Americans for Prosperity for Mississippi Scorecard presents legislators’ voting records on key issues impacting Mississippians. At Americans for Prosperity – Mississippi we believe everybody deserves a chance to succeed. We focus on key policy reforms that break barriers and empower individuals to succeed on their own. We believe: • Every child should have access to an excellent

education that fits their unique needs, regardless of where they live.

• People can’t rise to their highest potential when weighed down by taxes and spending. So, government should stick to its proper role.

• Formerly incarcerated Mississippians should be given a second chance to contribute to our communities once they’ve paid their debt to society.

Thomas Jefferson said, “Wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government.” In that spirit, we provide this legislative scorecard.

Sincerely,

TREY C. DELLINGER Mississippi State Director601-559-0985 [email protected]

SCORING METHODOLOGY AFP-Mississippi uses a weighted scoring system based on the priority assigned to bills. Members received two points for supporting AFP-Mississippi’s position on each highest-priority bill and one point for supporting AFP-Mississippi’s position on each remaining bill. Members received one point for sponsoring a bill supported by AFP-Mississippi and lost a point for sponsoring a bill opposed by AFP-Mississippi. The total number of points awarded was divided by the total number of possible non-sponsorship points, then the resulting fractions were converted to the percentages shown here.

4 = Voted with AFP-Mississippi’s position

8 = Voted against AFP-Mississippi’s position

NIO = Not in office. The member did not occupy the legislative office at the time of the vote in question.

NV = Not voting

MIL = Votes missed due to military service.

Legislators are not penalized in the scoring if they did not vote, regardless of the reason.

MISSISSIPPI SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION

SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNT | SB 2675

Senator Gray Tollison

Mississippi’s Special Needs Education Scholarship Account (“ESA”) program allows parents of students with special needs to be reimbursed for qualified educational expenses, such as technologies, tutors, or therapies necessary for their education, as well as tuition, curriculum, and certain other expenses. Parents participating in this program have reported a 91% satisfaction rate. Under current law, the program is set to expire on June 30, 2020. This bill would have extended the program to July 1, 2024. The bill passed the Senate but died in committee in the House. AFP-MS supported this bill, because students with special needs and their parents should have education options so they can get an excellent education that fits their unique educational needs, regardless of where they live. This bill passed the Senate but was not voted on by the House.

A AND B PUBLIC SCHOOL FLEXIBILITY | SB 623

Speaker Philip Gunn

This bill would have given A and B-rated school districts more flexibility and would have relieved them of cumbersome administrative mandates so they can focus attention and resources on students. Under this bill, A and B-rated public school districts and their educators would be exempt from: participating in the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) textbook selection process; completing MDE surveys; reporting the type and content of work to their district superintendent;

reporting course grades to MDE; having their official discipline plan and code of student conduct legally audited annually; and fulfilling continuing education requirements for teacher license and certification renewal. Finally, H.B. 632 would have required MDE to develop a grant program to provide funds to these highly-rated districts for the implementation of innovative educational programs. This bill passed the House but died in committee in the Senate.

THE MISSISSIPPI FRESH START ACT | HB 1284/

SB 2781

Representative Mark Baker and Senator John Polk

This bill prevents occupational licensing authorities from denying an applicant a license because of a criminal conviction unrelated to the duties of their occupation. The law also guarantees an applicant denied a license notice and opportunity for a hearing to challenge the decision. The Fresh Start Act passed both houses and was signed into law by Governor Bryant. AFP-MS supported this bill because it gives ex-offenders a second chance to get back on track and pursue the occupation of their choice, while maintaining public safety.

THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM ACT |

HB 1352

Representative Jason White

This bill gives people who have committed low-level crimes a second chance by helping them get back to work, ends driver’s license suspensions for non-traffic-related drug offenses or for inability to pay fines or fees,

broadens eligibility for intervention courts, such as drug courts, veterans courts, and mental health courts, allows judges to waive participation fees for indigent participants, and expands expungement eligibility for most non-violent felonies. The bill passed both houses and was signed into law by Governor Bryant.

FREE SPEECH PROTECTIONS FOR

CHARITABLE GIVERS | HB 1205

Representative Jerry Turner

This bill will protect free speech by preventing government agencies from collecting and releasing the private personal information of donors to charitable 501(c) organizations. The bill passed both houses and was signed into law by Governor Bryant.

FILM INDUSTRY TAX REBATES | SB 2603

Senator Joey Fillingane

Under existing law, a motion picture production company that spends over $50,000 on a production in Mississippi is entitled to a tax subsidy equal to 25% of the base investment, and could include in that base investment amounts paid up to 5 million dollars per non-resident employee. This subsidy for payroll to non-residents expired on July 1, 2017. This bill revived and extended the non-resident payroll subsidy indefinitely. Under the bill, the non-resident payroll subsidy is available to those Mississippi-based or Mississippi resident companies that filed income taxes in Mississippi for three consecutive years and produced at least two motion pictures in Mississippi during the past ten years. AFP-MS opposed this bill, because filmmakers should be required to rely on voluntary private investment to fund their film projects, not on taxpayers.

MISSISSIPPI TOURISM ADVERTISING AND

PROMOTION ADVISORY BOARD | SB 2193

Senator Terry Burton

This bill created a Mississippi Tourism Advertising and Promotion Advisory Board to divert a portion of restaurant and hotel sales tax revenue for advertising to promote tourism. The law diverted one percent of sales tax revenue from restaurants and hotels to the tourism promotion and advertising fund in fiscal year 2019, to be increased to two percent in fiscal year 2020 and to three percent in fiscal year 2021. AFP-MS opposed, because taxpayers should not be required to subsidize tourism promotion.
