Reeves calls a special session for Wednesday

May 27, 2025 – Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves today announced the following statement on his call for a special session on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 11 a.m. 

“I’m calling a special session to begin tomorrow at 11 a.m.,” Gov. Reeves said. “Since it became apparent that a budget would not be passed during this year’s regular session, I’ve been clear that we should prioritize funding core government functions and keeping spending under control. That’s what the $7.135 billion proposed budget does. It funds the agencies and programs the government needs to operate, while staying true to our conservative principles.”

Reeves does not expect this to be a long special session. The proclamation calling the special session can be found here.
