Critical Infrastructure Emergency Mapping Grant Program; create within DPS.

HB 1505 creates a grant program within Mississippi's Department of Public Safety to help local law enforcement and public safety agencies create standardized digital maps of critical infrastructure (like buildings and campuses). It allows municipalities, counties, or state law enforcement agencies to apply for grants to produce verified mapping data that integrates with existing emergency response software, includes detailed floor plans, accurate 3D orientation, and site-specific labels. The bill establishes a dedicated state fund for these grants and requires all produced maps to be permanently accessible at no ongoing cost to agencies. This bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and is inactive.
