AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi Code Section 49-15-21 to allow members of the Department of Marine Resources Enforcement Officers Reserve Unit to be paid for their service during "Special Need Events," which are defined as situations with critical shortages of personnel as determined by the Chief of Marine Patrol and approved by the director. To qualify for this pay, reserve officers must be in good standing and have completed a board of minimum standards certification or an academy from another state recognized by the Board on Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training.
