Radar speed detection equipment; authorize use in certain municipalities with populations under 15,000.

HB 1191 would have allowed municipal police in Mississippi towns with populations under 15,000 (excluding Pass Christian) to use radar speed detection equipment on federally designated highways within their city limits. Currently, only larger municipalities (over 15,000 people) or specific cases (like county seats with colleges) could legally use such radar. The bill specifically amended Section 63-3-519 of Mississippi law to expand this authority to smaller communities. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
