In 2012, Representative Haney voted to require photo identification as a condition for voting in Mississippi and supported the bill to permit prayer in Mississippi public schools. In 2013, he voted to make the position of state superintendent appointed, but the House rejected the conference report on the matter. In 2014, Haney voted to restrict abortions to twenty weeks of gestation and to permit "wrongful death" lawsuits when an unborn child is killed. In 2016, Haney voted against  dismemberment abortions. He voted to expand the list of exemptions for compulsory school vaccinations. He voted to grant civil and criminal immunity to those reporting what they believe are instances of terrorism. He voted to permit churches to have designated personnel with firearms for the overall protection of the congregation. He supported the bill to guarantee within Mississippi protections for religious beliefs and matters of moral conscience. In 2017, Haney supported the legislation which authorizes additional methods of execution in Mississippi and co-sponsored the measure to classify the killing of first responders as first-degree murder. He voted to increase identification requirements for Medicaid.[6]
