AI Summary
This bill requires human resource agencies, which are local governmental entities created by counties or cities to administer programs, to publicly display the specific state law that authorized their creation, including the citation. Additionally, for any legal claims filed under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act (MTCA), which is the state's law governing lawsuits against government entities, notice of the claim can no longer be given to individual officers or employees of these agencies; instead, it must be served on the chancery clerk of the county where the agency's main office is located, or on the municipal clerk if the agency was created by a municipality.
