DPS and towns; may enter into contract for the provision of CCID officers in towns.

HB 743 allows Mississippi's Department of Public Safety (DPS) to enter contracts with towns to provide security using Capitol Improvement District (CCID) officers during specific periods. It directly affects municipalities that choose to contract with DPS for security services on their properties. The bill amends existing law to authorize these contracts, enabling DPS to deploy CCID officers (state security personnel) for patrols and responding to alarms rather than stationing officers permanently. This expands DPS's existing security contracting authority beyond state buildings to include town properties. The bill does not create new officers or mandate contracts - towns must voluntarily enter agreements.
