The Ashley Henley Investigation Authority Act; create.

HB 398, titled "The Ashley Henley Investigation Authority Act," amends Mississippi law to authorize the Department of Public Safety to investigate the death of any current or former local, municipal, county, or state official under certain circumstances. It directly grants the Department of Public Safety new authority to conduct such investigations, which it previously lacked. The bill does not specify the exact circumstances requiring an investigation but establishes a formal process for the Department to follow. The act is named in honor of Representative Ashley Henley.
