Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-5(1) — Produce records within 1 working day unless the public body has adopted written procedures; adopted procedures may allow up to 7 working days from receipt. If unable to produce by then, a written explanation extends the outer limit to 14 working days, absent mutual agreement.
