Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 55-15-21, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Revise The Composition Of The Grand Gulf Military Monument Commission To Increase The Number Of Commission Members; To Provide That One Additional Member Shall Be Appointed By The Governor From The State-at-large After Consideration Of Recommendations For The Appointment Made By The Speaker Of The House Of Representatives And One Additional Member Shall Be Appointed From The State-at-large By The Lieutenant Governor; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the composition of the Grand Gulf Military Monument Commission by increasing its membership from five to seven members, effective July 1, 2025. Currently, all five members are appointed by the Governor and must be residents of Claiborne County, Mississippi. Under the new provisions, five members will continue to be appointed from Claiborne County, but two additional members will be appointed from the state-at-large: one by the Governor (after considering recommendations from the Speaker of the House of Representatives) and one by the Lieutenant Governor. All members, including the new state-at-large appointees, will serve five-year terms. Existing commission members will continue to serve until their current terms end, at which point the new appointment structure will take effect. This change appears designed to broaden the commission's representation by including members from outside Claiborne County while maintaining the county's core representation.
