Bill > HB1758

This bill appropriates $117,462.00 from the State Treasury to the Mississippi Auctioneers Commission for its operational expenses during the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The bill includes several legislative intentions: the Commission must maintain detailed accounting and personnel records in the same format as the previous fiscal year, and must submit its budget request for Fiscal Year 2027 with comparable detail. The Legislature also instructs that when the Commission receives multiple bids for commodities or equipment, and all bids are equal in price, quality, and service, preference should be given to Mississippi Industries for the Blind. The bill further mandates that the Commission comply with state financial regulations, specifically ensuring that no agency incurs obligations or indebtedness beyond its appropriation. The State Treasurer will pay the appropriated funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer, and the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025.
