Mississippi Heroes Act; create to give supplemental pay to law enforcement officers.

HB 1508, the Mississippi Heroes Act, creates a state fund to provide supplemental pay to municipal, county, and state law enforcement officers based on continuous service years. Officers with 5 years of service receive $5,000, 10 years receive $10,000, and 20 years receive $20,000, requiring uninterrupted service without termination or suspension. Funding comes from specific assessments on traffic violations ($30), drug forfeiture (10%), and other designated fees, as amended in Mississippi Code sections 99-19-73 and others. The bill was referred to committee but died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not advance.
