These enhancements are designed to manage energy infrastructure more effectively in areas experiencing increased load growth due to new industrial development, manufacturing, and data center expansion. The project is expected to rapidly increase transfer capability on selected transmission corridors by at least 25%.

Mississippi Narcotics Unit Urges Ban on Synthetic Kratom Following Ole Miss Student Deaths

Mississippi Narcotics Unit Urges Ban on Synthetic Kratom Following Ole Miss Student Deaths

Law enforcement in Mississippi, specifically the Lafayette County Metro Narcotics unit, is advocating for state lawmakers to ban synthetic kratom. This call to action follows the deaths of two Ole Miss students last week, 18-year-old Aidan Hamilton and 20-year-old Robert Strang, who are suspected to have died from overdoses. While toxicology tests are still pending, court documents indicate that both students purchased SMAX Pseudo-DHM pills, a chemically manipulated product, days before their deaths. Investigators found packaging of the suspected substance at the scene and subsequently issued a public warning about kratom. Hamilton reportedly made multiple purchases at Puffs Vape Tobacco and Beer in Oxford, leading to the arrest of two employees and the seizure of 500 units of kratom. Additionally, an assortment of THC cartridges, gummies, pre-rolls, and other suspected THC substances were found. Strang reportedly bought similar products from a store in Yalobusha County. The narcotics unit emphasized that ...

Mississippi Law Limits Hospital Liens on Burn Injury Settlements

Mississippi Law Limits Hospital Liens on Burn Injury Settlements

Mississippi's hospital lien statute, Miss. Code Ann. § 85-7-301, specifically governs how 'qualifying hospitals' and 'qualifying practices' can place liens on settlements for uncompensated traumatic burn care. This law is not a general hospital lien statute; it applies only to facilities designated as burn centers by the State Department of Health and physician practices providing care to patients admitted to such centers. The lien attaches solely to causes of action against third parties responsible for the injury, not to the patient's personal assets like their home or bank account. Providers must adhere to strict procedures, including giving 15 days' advance written notice to the patient and relevant parties, and filing a verified statement with the chancery clerk in both the provider's and patient's counties. Deadlines for filing vary: qualifying hospitals have 75 days after discharge, while qualifying practices have 90 days from the first treatment. The statute also includes protections for burn victi...
