AI Summary
This bill amends existing Mississippi law to prohibit municipalities with a population over 145,000 (based on the 2020 census) from charging individuals to park on public streets that are directly next to a county courthouse or other county building where the public receives services, for the duration of their required appearance or necessary time to use those services. This change aims to remove parking fees for citizens who are legally obligated to be present at county facilities or are utilizing public county services.
