This bill is an appropriation (allocation of funds) for the State Board of Architecture and Landscape Architecture Advisory Committee for the fiscal year 2025-2026, providing $363,967.00 to cover the board's operational expenses. The bill authorizes two permanent full-time positions for the agency and includes several detailed provisions governing how the funds can be used, such as restrictions on salary increases and personnel actions. The legislation mandates that the board maintain comprehensive accounting and personnel records, submit budget requests in a consistent format, and comply with state financial regulations. The bill also includes a preference for purchasing from the Mississippi Industries for the Blind when competitive bids are received and ensures that the agency cannot incur obligations exceeding its appropriation. The appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025, and the funds will be disbursed by the State Treasurer through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer upon proper requisition.
