HB 1069 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Radar; authorize use by sheriff and deputies for enforcing speed limits within school zones.

HB 1069 would allow Mississippi sheriffs and deputies to use radar speed detection devices on public roads to enforce speed limits specifically within school zones marked by caution blinking lights. It also requires counties to use all fines collected from violations in these school zones to fund school safety initiatives, such as school resource officers or safety training for school staff. The bill aims to strengthen enforcement in school zones while directing penalty revenue directly toward improving school safety. This legislation would apply to all school zones meeting the specified lighting requirements, not just those in incorporated municipalities.
