Bonds; authorize issuance to provide funds for the Mississippi County Sheriffs Radar Speed Detection Equipment Loan Fund.

HB 4098 authorizes the issuance of up to $520,000 in state bonds to create a loan fund for Mississippi county sheriff's departments to purchase radar speed detection equipment. The Mississippi Sheriffs Radar Speed Detection Equipment Loan Fund, administered by the Department of Finance and Administration, will provide low-cost loans to counties to buy this equipment for use on public roads, including work zones and school zones as defined in the amended law. The bill amends Section 63-3-519 to explicitly permit sheriffs and deputies to use radar equipment in these designated zones. Bonds must be issued by July 1, 2030, with proceeds funding the loan program and interest covering debt service.
