Victim Assistance Coordinator; authorize additional for the 16th Circuit Court District.

HB 404 would add a second victim assistance coordinator position specifically for Mississippi's 16th Circuit Court District. This coordinator would help victims of crime understand and access their legal rights, working with prosecutors, law enforcement, and courts. The position would be funded jointly by counties in the district (paid pro rata), with salaries capped at the rate for criminal investigators. The bill aimed to expand victim support services in the 16th Circuit but died in committee before becoming law.
