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

HB 1047 would have allowed Mississippi sheriffs and deputies to use radar speed detection devices on public roads to enforce speed limits specifically within school zones marked by blinking caution lights. It required counties to use fines from these school zone violations to fund school safety measures, such as school resource officers or staff safety training. The bill directly affected sheriffs' enforcement capabilities and school safety funding in counties. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
