PREFACE
The Mississippi Code of 1972, which became effective on November 1,
1973, is the culmination of nearly four years of effort on the part of the
Legislature, the Attorney General’s office and the publishers, which brings
together provisions of general statutory law having a common subject matter
into a more orderly and logical framework of code titles and chapters, and
employing a modern and effective section numbering system. A major by-
product of the code revision will be the state-owned magnetic computer tape
containing the Mississippi Code of 1972, which will be of invaluable assistance
to the Legislature and to the state.
The enabling act for the code was a recommendation of the Mississippi
State Bar, which resulted in the consideration and passage of Senate Bill 1964,
Chapter 465, Laws of 1970, signed into law by Governor John Bell Williams.
The Code Committee provided for in that act was comprised of A. F.
Summer, Attorney General, Heber Ladner, Secretary of State, Representative
Edgar J. Stephens, Jr., Chairman, House Appropriations Committee, Senator
William G. Burgin, Jr., Chairman, Senate Appropriations Committee, Repre-
sentative H. L. Meredith, Jr., Chairman, House Judiciary “A” and Judiciary en
banc Committees, Senator E. K. Collins, Chairman, Senate Judiciary “A” and
Judiciary en banc Committees, Representative Ney McKinley Gore, Jr.,
Chairman, House Judiciary “B” Committee, and Senator William E. Alexander,
Chairman, Senate Judiciary “B” Committee. In 1972, Representative Marby
Robert Penton and Senator Herman B. Decell, Chairman of House and Senate
Judiciary “B” Committees, respectively, became members of the Committee,
replacing Representative Gore and Senator Collins, Senator Alexander having
been appointed Chairman of Senate Judiciary “A” and Judiciary en banc
Committees. The Deputy Attorney General, Delos H. Burks, served the Code
Committee as Secretary. Special Assistant Attorney General Fred J. Lotterhos,
under the supervision of the Attorney General, was assigned the principal
responsibility for the supervision of the recodification, including the consider-
ation and treatment of some 16,000 sections of code manuscript.
Final legislative approval was given to the Mississippi Code of 1972 by
passage of Senate Bill 2034, Laws of 1972, which was signed by Governor
William L. Waller on April 26, 1972. A copy of that act is set out in Volume 1,
following the Publisher’s Foreword.
The Code Committee is of the opinion that the recodification has been
thoroughly and well accomplished, and will result in a greatly improved
repository of the general statutory law of the state.

PUBLISHER’S FOREWORD
This 2012 Replacement Volume 14 of the Mississippi Code of 1972
Annotated represents material appearing in both the original 1973 bound
volume and the 1991 Replacement Volume 14, and the 2005 Replacement
Volume 14, as well as reflecting amendments, repeals, and new Code provi-
sions enacted by the Mississippi Legislature through the 2012 Regular
Legislative Session.
This volume contains the text of Titles 65 of the Mississippi Code of 1972
Annotated, as amended through the 2012 Regular Legislative Session.
Case annotations are included based on decisions of the State and federal
courts in cases arising in Mississippi. Many of these cases were decided under
the former statutes in effect prior to the enactment of the Code of 1972. These
earlier cases have been moved to pertinent sections of the Code where they
may be useful in interpreting the current statutes. Annotations to collateral
research references are also included.
To better serve our customers by making our annotations more current,
LexisNexis has changed the sources that are read to create annotations for this
publication. Rather than waiting for cases to appear in printed reporters, we
now read court decisions as they are released by the courts. A consequence of
this more current reading of cases, as they are posted online on LexisNexis, is
that the most recent cases annotated may not yet have print reporter citations.
These will be provided, as they become available, through later publications.
This publication contains annotations taken from decisions of the Missis-
sippi Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals and decisions of the appropriate
federal courts. These cases will be printed in the following reporters:
Southern Reporter, 3rd Series
United States Supreme Court Reports
Supreme Court Reporter
United States Supreme Court Reports, Lawyers’ Edition, 2nd Series
Federal Reporter, 3rd Series
Federal Supplement, 2nd Series
Federal Rules Decisions
Bankruptcy Reporter
Additionally, annotations have been taken from the following sources:
American Law Reports, 6th Series
American Law Reports, Federal Series
Mississippi College Law Review
Mississippi Law Journal
Finally, published Opinions of the Attorney General and opinions of the
Ethics Commission have been examined for annotations.
A comprehensive Index appears at the end of this volume.
