AI Summary
This bill authorizes the DeSoto County Board of Supervisors to purchase radar speed detection equipment for the county sheriff's department to use on public county roads and state highways outside of incorporated municipalities. The board can spend county funds to acquire the equipment at their discretion, and the sheriff and deputy sheriffs will be permitted to operate the radar to enforce speed limits in these areas. Additionally, any monetary funds generated from speeding citations issued using this radar equipment will be specifically earmarked to fund school resource officers in the county's public schools. The legislation provides a clear mechanism for both acquiring traffic enforcement technology and redirecting potential citation revenue toward school safety, with the bill set to take effect immediately upon passage.
