Appropriation; Hinds County for purchasing body cameras and additional vehicles for the Sheriff's Department.

HB 1683 proposed a $2.5 million state appropriation to Hinds County for the Sheriff's Department to purchase body cameras and ten additional vehicles during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The bill would have directly assisted Hinds County law enforcement by covering equipment costs through state funds from the General Fund. It included standard payment mechanisms requiring state treasurer disbursement upon proper requisitions. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.
