AI Summary

This bill clarifies the authority of the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce to provide security personnel in state buildings under contracts entered into with the Department of Finance and Administration. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously indicated the Department of Finance and Administration would not post any security personnel at the Department of Agriculture's buildings, and instead allows the two departments to enter into a contract for the Department of Finance and Administration to provide security personnel with jurisdiction to enforce all state laws on the Department of Agriculture's property. The bill also authorizes similar contracts between the Department of Finance and Administration and the Mississippi Fair Commission, as well as the Department of Revenue.
