Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 19-3-49, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Provide That The Hancock County Board Of Supervisors, Rather Than Paying The Attorney Hired To Prosecute Cases Requiring The Services Of A County Prosecuting Attorney An Annual Salary Of Forty-five Thousand Dollars, The Board May Pay Such Attorney An Annual Salary In An Amount Not To Exceed Seventy-five Percent Of The Annual Salary Of The County Court Judge's Salary; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 19-3-49 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to allow the Hancock County Board of Supervisors to pay the attorney hired to prosecute cases requiring the services of a county prosecuting attorney an annual salary not exceeding 50% of the annual salary of the full-time district attorney, as provided in Section 25-3-35. The bill cites several reasons for this change, including the addition of a justice court judge, the significant increase in the county's population and caseload, and the attorney's responsibility for handling a large number of drug, alcohol, and mental commitment proceedings, which have increased due to the creation of a county court in 2018.
