Establishes the Mississippi Heroes Support Fund for law enforcement officers, funded by speeding fines and donations.

First-time speeding violators can choose to pay an additional $100 fine, which goes to the fund. The fund is distributed annually to full-time certified law enforcement officers who have completed at least one year of service and are in good standing with their agency. The fund is administered by the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety.
