SB 2029 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Radar; authorize use by sheriffs and deputies.

SB 2029 would allow Mississippi county sheriffs and deputies to use radar speed detection equipment on public roads, streets, and highways outside incorporated city limits, but only with approval from the county board of supervisors. This changes current law, which previously restricted radar use to specific municipal areas or the state highway patrol. The bill directly affects county law enforcement and drivers on rural county roads. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
