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. A.

This volume contains the text of Titles 67 and 69 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. 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.
