35 Miss. Code. R. 1-08-102

Municipalities must qualify in order to participate in the disbursements from the Municipal Court Collections Payment Program. To qualify, the governing authority of a municipality 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 21-17-1(6). Using a municipal employee for these services does not qualify the municipality to receive the distribution. The municipality must submit to the Department the following information in order to be considered as participating:

1. The name of the municipality;

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.
