Bill > SB2615

This bill amends existing Mississippi law to allow sheriffs and their deputies to use radar speed detection equipment in designated work zones and school zones on public roads. Previously, the use of such radar equipment was restricted to the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol and certain municipal law enforcement officers under specific population or location criteria. The bill clarifies that a "work zone" is a construction or maintenance area on or along public roads marked with warning signs, and a "school zone" is a roadway segment near school buildings, grounds, or where school activities occur. This change expands the authority to enforce speed limits using radar in these specific safety-sensitive areas.
