Prohibited noises; provide requirement for certain retail establishments within a municipality.
This bill amends Mississippi Code Section 45-1-19 to grant the Department of Public Safety (DPS) jurisdiction to enforce state laws - including local noise ordinances - within the City of Jackson. It specifically expands DPS authority to cover noise violations on city properties and in Jackson's Capitol Complex Improvement District. The bill does not create new noise restrictions but clarifies DPS as the primary enforcement agency for noise ordinances within Jackson's boundaries, replacing or supplementing local enforcement. This primarily affects city properties, businesses operating in Jackson, and residents subject to noise ordinances. (Note: The bill title mentions "retail establishments," but the actual text focuses on DPS jurisdiction enforcement, not retail-specific noise rules.)
