DPS cleanup bill advances, removes outdated 'videotape' language and updates agency names
Summary
Senator Suber told the committee SB2314 updates code cross-references replacing 'Mississippi Highway Patrol' with 'Department of Public Safety', adds 'vehicles' to allowable purchases, and removes an obsolete reference to videotapes and 'Jackson, Mississippi' as a fixed headquarters.
Senator Suber (Speaker 13) presented SB2314, a cleanup bill from the Department of Public Safety. Suber said the measure replaces references to the Mississippi Highway Patrol with the Department of Public Safety, adds 'vehicles' as allowable uses for certain funds, removes references to Jackson, Mississippi as a fixed office location to reflect a relocated headquarters, and repeals an obsolete requirement to prepare videotapes for educational TV.
There were no substantive policy objections recorded in the transcript and the committee advanced the measure on a title-sufficient motion and voice vote. Suber said the text mostly updates language to match current departmental structure and technology.
