Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 266 makes two key changes. First, it adds the name "Tom Weathersby State Crime Laboratory" for the crime lab in Pearl, alongside the existing name for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety headquarters, which will now honor "David R. Huggins." Secondly, it shifts the requirement for placing signage and plaques from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Finance and Administration, ensuring that the proper tributes to both individuals will be displayed at the respective facilities. These changes matter because they recognize important contributors to the state while clarifying who is responsible for the installation of commemorative signage.
