"Jennifer's Law"; enact to prohibit state and local agencies from establishing traffic ticket quotas.

HB 175, "Jennifer's Law," prohibits Mississippi state and local agencies from requiring peace officers or parking enforcement employees to meet specific targets for traffic citations or arrests. It bans using the number of citations issued as the sole factor for promotions, benefits, or performance evaluations, instead requiring agencies to consider broader metrics like community complaints and professional judgment. The law directly affects law enforcement officers and parking enforcement staff across Mississippi who enforce traffic laws under Title 63 of the Mississippi Code. It takes effect July 1, 2025, and defines key terms like "arrest quota" and "citation" to clarify the prohibition.
