Bill > SB3023

This bill appropriates $378,324.00 from the State Treasury to the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) for the fiscal year 2026, which runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The bill authorizes a permanent headcount of 3 employees for the commission and includes several important provisions regarding personnel and budget management. It requires the MVC to maintain detailed accounting and personnel records, and mandates that the agency cannot exceed its appropriated funds or incur obligations beyond its budget. The bill also instructs the State Personnel Board to publish payroll projections and restricts salary adjustments, emphasizing that new hires should only be made when essential. Additionally, the bill includes a preference clause for the Mississippi Industries for the Blind when the agency purchases commodities or equipment, meaning if bids are equal in price, quality, and service, the Industries for the Blind should be given priority. The appropriation will be paid by the State Treasurer through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer, and the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025.
