HB 1269 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Constables; authorize payment for certain services.

HB 1269 removes restrictions that previously prevented constables from being paid for certain arrests. It directly affects county constables (local law enforcement officers) by allowing them to receive payment for specific arrest-related services they were previously ineligible for. The key mechanism is amending Mississippi Code Section 19-19-5 to authorize these payments, while maintaining existing training requirements that tie payment eligibility to completing mandatory law enforcement training. This change takes effect July 1, 2025.
