Mississippi lawmakers are considering a bill that would have mutual aid requirements
SUMMARY: State lawmakers are considering a bill that would mandate ambulance providers to include Mutual Aid Clauses in their contracts. House Bill 1644 recently passed the accountability efficiency and transparency committee and would require companies providing exclusive services to cities or counties to allow other companies to respond to calls in certain situations. The bill would go into effect on July 1st and apply to contracts renewed or approved after that date. This measure aims to ensure that ambulance services can still be provided effectively even when the main contractor is short on staff or equipment.
The bill would require ambulance services providers to include mutual aid clauses in their contracts.
SUMMARY: The museum will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his contributions, especially his role in Mississippi’s Civil Rights efforts, from January 18 to January 22 with free admission, thanks to FedEx. Special tours will focus on the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, alongside a night of culture featuring young performers on January 20. Additionally, they will celebrate civil rights veteran Pastor Jan Perkins’ 95th birthday on January 22. Visitors are encouraged to try Chef Nick Wallace’s famous gumbo and view significant artifacts, like Vernon Damer’s truck parts.
