AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi's existing law to authorize sheriffs and their deputies in counties with a population of 140,000 or more to use radar speed detection equipment on public county roads and highways located outside of incorporated municipalities, excluding interstate and state highways. The bill imposes certain restrictions on the use of radar, such as prohibiting its use within 500 yards of municipal boundaries, county boundaries, and speed limit changes. Additionally, any funds received from citations issued due to radar-detected speeding violations must be used by the school district for school safety purposes in the district where the violation occurred.
