Ronnie Frieth, committee co-counsel, summarized the committee's statutory authority (section 1-1-9 of the Mississippi Code) to fix manifest typographical and transcription errors and walked members through examples: incorrect cross-references in the Clean Water Act chapter, deleted subsection references in Senate Bill 2001, missing words in the uniform youth court data management system reference, incorrect subsection numbering in section 73-7-15, and inconsistent use of 'act' vs 'chapter' in Human Trafficking Act references.

The Joint Committee on Mississippi Code reviewed and approved minor typographical corrections, voted to integrate multiple amendments into several code sections, approved a LexisNexis price increase and several contract changes (including removing the annual Mississippi citator), and renewed the code-publishing contract for four years.
