CCID inferior court; authorize additional staff.
SB 2698 would authorize additional staff for Mississippi's Capitol Complex Improvement District (CCID) inferior court. Specifically, it would allow the appointment of one additional prosecuting attorney, one full-time criminal investigator, and two additional assistant public defenders to handle criminal cases within the CCID jurisdiction. The bill also includes provisions for support staff for the new public defenders and sets their compensation to match rates in the Seventh Circuit Court District. These changes aim to increase staffing resources for criminal proceedings in the CCID court without altering the court's jurisdiction or case types.
