Secretary of State; authorize certain investigative or regulatory employees to carry a firearm.

SB 2080 would amend Mississippi law to permit certain employees of the Secretary of State's office - specifically those authorized to conduct investigations or regulatory enforcement - to carry firearms while performing their official duties. This change would add these employees to an existing list of state workers (like wildlife officers and some law enforcement personnel) already allowed to carry weapons under the same conditions. The bill does not alter current requirements, such as completing weapons training or passing background checks, which remain mandatory for all authorized firearm carriers. The bill was referred to committee but died there without further action.
