AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS), which is the state's law enforcement agency, to provide security personnel, conduct regular vehicle patrols, and respond to security system alarms at properties owned by the Mississippi Department of Agriculture, specifically at 121 North Jefferson Street and the New Farmers Market Building in Jackson. Previously, the law prohibited posting security personnel at these locations, but this change permits the DPS to offer these security services through a contractual agreement with the Department of Agriculture, enhancing security for these state facilities.
