This bill appropriates $174,135.00 from the Mississippi Athletic Commission Fund to cover the agency's expenses for the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Of this total amount, $57,690.00 is specifically allocated for personal services, which includes salaries, wages, and fringe benefits for a single permanent employee.

The bill also specifies that when purchasing commodities or equipment, the Mississippi Industries for the Blind should be given preference if their bids are comparable to others. Additionally, the bill sets the annual salary for the Commission Chairman at $43,060.00 and stipulates that the State Treasurer will pay the appropriated funds upon warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer. The appropriation will take effect on July 1, 2025.
