Bill > HB1750

This bill appropriates $354,642.00 to the Mississippi State Board of Physical Therapy for fiscal year 2026, which runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The bill authorizes three permanent staff positions and sets specific guidelines for personnel and financial management. It requires the agency to maintain detailed accounting and personnel records similar to the previous fiscal year and submit budget requests with comparable detail. The legislation includes provisions that prioritize purchasing from the Mississippi Industries for the Blind when bids are equal, ensures that the agency cannot spend more than its appropriation, and mandates that the State Treasurer will pay funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer. The bill also includes several fiscal controls, such as restrictions on salary increases, requirements for tracking personnel costs, and prohibitions on replacing federal funds with general funds. These provisions are designed to ensure fiscal responsibility and transparent financial management of the Physical Therapy Board's budget for the specified fiscal year.
