Mississippi law

Administrative Laws in Mississippi.

Mississippi administrative law is governed by the Mississippi Administrative Procedures Law (MAPL), which governs rulemaking, contested cases, and judicial review of state agency action. Agencies must follow notice-and-comment rulemaking procedures, publish proposed rules, and submit to legislative oversight via PEER and the Mississippi Secretary of State's Administrative Procedures office. Contested cases produce final agency decisions, which are reviewable in Chancery Court. Judicial review applies substantial-evidence and arbitrary-and-capricious standards.
