35 Miss. Code. R. 1-07-102

Counties must qualify in order to participate in the disbursements from the Justice Court Collections Payment Program. To qualify, the Board of Supervisors of a county must contract with a private attorney or private collection agent or department to collect delinquent fees, fines, and other assessments as provided by Miss. Code Ann. Section 19-3-41(2). Using a county employee for these services does not qualify the county to receive the distribution. The county must submit to the Department the following information in order to be considered as participating:

1. The name of the county;

2. The name and address of the person or department that will be the contact for this program; and

3. A copy of the contract made with the collection entity including the services being performed and the time frame governed by the contract.
