Mississippi HB611 grants law enforcement officers the right to discovery during hearings on certification issues.
Mississippi HB611 amends the Mississippi Code to ensure that law enforcement officers facing potential reprimand, suspension, cancellation, or recall of their certification are entitled to discovery during the hearing process. This bill also allows officers with 20 years of experience to be eligible for recertification without taking the basic training course. Additionally, it outlines the process for law enforcement agencies to report terminations or resignations and specifies the conditions under which an officer's certification can be revoked. The act takes effect on July 1, 2026.
