Specifically, it removes a previous prohibition on posting security personnel at the Department of Agriculture's property at 121 North Jefferson Street and the New Farmers Market Building in Jackson, Mississippi, and now permits the DPS to post security personnel, conduct regular vehicle patrols, and respond to alarms at these locations.
