Radar speed detection equipment; authorize use by sheriffs and deputies of certain counties.

HB 619 would authorize sheriffs and deputies in Mississippi counties with 150,000+ residents (per 2020 census) to use radar speed detection equipment on public county roads outside incorporated cities and excluding interstates. It requires county boards of supervisors to approve such use and mandates that funds from radar fines be dedicated solely to funding school resource officers. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety could intervene if abuse of the equipment is reported. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
