SB 2615 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Radar; authorize sheriff and deputies to use in work zones and school zones.

SB 2615 authorizes county sheriffs and deputies to use radar speed detection equipment on public roads in designated work zones (construction/maintenance areas marked with warning signs) and school zones (road segments near schools with school activities). The bill amends Mississippi law to explicitly include sheriffs under permitted law enforcement agencies for radar use in these specific zones, which were previously limited to other agencies like the Highway Safety Patrol. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law. It did not change existing radar use for other agencies or define new penalties.
