HB 1456 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Department of Public Safety Headquarters; transfer facility in Jackson, MS to UMMC.

HB 1456 transfers a 10.17-acre property at 1900 East Woodrow Wilson Avenue in Jackson, Mississippi - currently used as the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol headquarters - to the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). The bill requires the Department of Finance and Administration (acting for the Department of Public Safety) to convey the property to UMMC's board of trustees, with terms considering redevelopment options like medical facilities or police administrative buildings. It also specifies that the state retains mineral rights and mandates consideration of FAA flight patterns, zoning, and cleanup costs during the transfer. This procedural bill directly affects the Department of Public Safety (current owner) and UMMC (new owner), with no policy changes beyond the property transfer.
