Law Enforcement Supplemental Pay Program; create.

HB 1157 proposes creating a state-funded Law Enforcement Supplemental Pay Program administered by Mississippi's Department of Public Safety. It would provide eligible local sworn law enforcement officers with an additional $2,000 per year after completing five years of service in Mississippi, paid on top of their existing municipal or county salary. The program applies to full-time officers in jurisdictions employing at least one sworn officer, with the supplemental pay not reducing any other compensation they receive. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
