AI Summary
This bill amends existing Mississippi law to allow county sheriffs and their deputies to use radar speed detection equipment, commonly known as radar guns, on public roads within their jurisdiction specifically in designated work zones or school zones. A "work zone" is defined as an area on or alongside a public road where construction or maintenance is happening and is marked with warning signs, while a "school zone" refers to a road segment near school buildings, grounds, or where school activities take place. This expansion of radar use aims to enhance safety in these specific areas.
