MS HB652

Amends Section 63-3-519, Mississippi Code of 1972, to remove the population threshold requirement for municipal law enforcement officers to use radar speed detection equipment on public streets within their municipalities.

Municipal law enforcement officers may now use radar speed detection equipment on municipal public streets regardless of the municipality's population size.

College and university campus police may continue using radar on campuses with more than 2,000 enrolled students.

Municipal law enforcement in cities with populations exceeding 15,000 may use radar on federally designated highways within corporate limits, and the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol will not operate radar in these areas.

Effective July 1, 2020.
