An Act To Amend Section 63-3-519, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Authorize The Law Enforcement Officers Within Any Municipality With A Population Of Under 15,000, With The Exception Of Pass Christian, Mississippi, To Utilize Radar Speed Detection Equipment On Federally Designated Highways Lying Within The Corporate Limits Of The Municipality; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Mississippi law to allow law enforcement officers in municipalities with a population under 15,000, with the specific exception of Pass Christian, Mississippi, to use radar speed detection equipment on federally designated highways within their city limits. Federally designated highways are roads that have been officially recognized and often funded by the federal government for interstate travel. Previously, the use of such equipment was restricted to larger municipalities or specific circumstances, and this change expands that authority to smaller towns on these important roadways, excluding the specified highway in Pass Christian.
