AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to allow certain employees of the Secretary of State to carry firearms while performing their official duties. Specifically, it adds employees authorized by the Secretary of State to conduct investigations or regulatory enforcement functions to a list of individuals who are permitted to carry weapons without violating state statutes. This change is made within the context of existing laws that already permit various other groups, such as law enforcement officers, bank guards, and certain investigators, to carry firearms under specific conditions, often requiring approved weapons training. The bill also includes a provision that it will take effect on July 1, 2026.
