An Act To Amend Section 17-15-1, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Require That Any Human Resource Agency Under This Chapter Publicly Disclose The Authority Under Which It Was Created, Including Citation; To Require That Such Disclosure Be Displayed In A Clear And Conspicuous Manner; To Stipulate That Notice Of A Tort Claim Shall Not Be Served Upon An Officer, Employee Or Executive Director Of Such Agency; To Provide For Proper Service; And For Related Purposes.

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.
