JACKSON — A senate bill which would have required appropriate signage for the Berean Children’s Home in Lincoln County died in the Mississippi State House of Representatives Tuesday. Lincoln County Sen. Jason Barrett was the author of the bill. 

According to SB2010, the bill would require signage for the Berean’s Children Home to be placed approaching the intersection of US84 and MS583. The Mississippi Department of Transportation would have to erect and maintain the signs under Barrett’s bill. Currently, there is not a sign for the Berean Children’s Home at US84 and MS583.

The home, which serves to provide children a loving home, is located south of Bethel Road on MS583. Berean’s opened in Lincoln County in 2011 with the capacity to serve 16 children. The ministry helps adolescents who are in need of care.

SB2010 died in committee as the deadline for bills originating in other house was Tuesday. It was one of dozens of bills which died in committee.
