MS Commission on Jail Standards; establish.

HB 1282 establishes the Mississippi Commission on Jail Standards to set and enforce minimum requirements for county jails. The commission, composed of seven members including jail oversight officials and representatives from law enforcement associations, will develop construction and operational standards, conduct biannual facility inspections, provide staff training, and approve renovation plans. This bill directly affects county jails and their operators by creating a formal oversight body to ensure consistent safety and operational standards across Mississippi's jail system. The commission must report annually to the Governor and Legislature and will serve without pay but receive expense reimbursement. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
