MS Code § 17-25-33 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 17 - Local Government; Provisions Common to Counties and Municipalities|Chapter 25 - General Provisions Relating to Counties and Municipalities|§ 17-25-33. Prohibition against law, rule, ordinance, etc. interfering with employer's ability to be informed about employee or potential employee background

  No county, board of supervisors of a county, municipality, governing authority of a municipality or any other political subdivision shall adopt or maintain in effect any law, ordinance, or rule that creates requirements, regulations, processes or prohibitions that in any way interfere with an employer's ability to become fully informed about the background of an employee or potential employee for the purpose of creating or maintaining a fair, secure, safe and productive workplace. Any ordinance or regulation that exists as of July 1, 2014, or is created after July 1, 2014, that violates the provisions of this section shall be explicitly preempted and voided by this section.   The Legislature recognizes that fair, secure and safe workplaces are critical to high employer and employee productivity and increased employer and employee productivity improve the economic health of our state. Because the employer is in the best position to understand the fairness, security and safety needs of his or her workplace, any law or ordinance that hinders an employer's ability to meet the demands of such needs by limiting the ability of an employer to become informed about the background of an employee or potential employee, shall be declared unfair and against the laws and policies of this state.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 17 - Local Government; Provisions Common to Counties and Municipalities|Chapter 25 - General Provisions Relating to Counties and Municipalities|§ 17-25-35. Continued payment of compensation and related benefits of county or municipality employees who protect public interest and are injured in the line of duty

 The governing authority of any municipality and the board of supervisors of any county may, in its discretion, adopt a policy to continue to pay all or a portion of the regular compensation and related benefits of any law enforcement officer, firefighter or other employee that protects the public interest of the municipality or county who is injured in the line of duty, during the time that the injured employee is physically unable to perform the duties of his or her employment, in accordance with the following:   The municipality or county may continue to pay all or a portion of the injured employee's regular compensation and related benefits until such time as the employee is physically able to perform the duties of his or her employment, or the employee retires on a disability retirement allowance, whichever occurs first.   The maximum portion of the injured employee's regular compensation that the municipality or county may continue to pay is the difference between the total amount that the injured employee is receiving from workers' compensation benefits and disability benefits from the trust fund created under Section 45-2-21 and the amount of the employee's regular compensation.   At such time as the injured employee is no longer receiving any workers' compensation benefits or disability benefits from the trust fund created under Section 45-2-21, the municipality or county may continue to pay the full amount of the employee's regular compensation for such period of time as allowed under the policy.
