University campus events; require enhanced security measures and collaboration among law enforcement for large events.

HB 1456 requires Mississippi's Department of Public Safety and state university boards to coordinate enhanced security for large campus events, directly affecting public universities and their law enforcement partners. Key provisions include mandating universities to prominently link to a statewide anonymous tip platform, establishing unified command protocols for multi-agency responses during high-risk events, and requiring stricter access controls and mental health resources for conflict resolution. The bill also directs the creation of a statewide safety training officer to provide emergency response training for campus law enforcement. This legislation died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
