Bill > HB1812

This bill appropriates $1,450,000 to the Mississippi Community College Board for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, to establish a pilot program focused on behavioral threat assessment and violence prevention at state-supported community colleges. The program aims to equip these colleges with modern tools and resources to implement consistent and effective practices for identifying and assessing potential threats, thereby preventing violence and ensuring the safety of students, faculty, and staff. Funds will be used for acquiring evidence-based screening and assessment platforms, training personnel, integrating with existing campus safety systems, and providing ongoing technical support. The Mississippi Community College Board will oversee the program, maintain financial records, and report on its utilization, impact, and recommendations for future expansion by December 1, 2027.
