AI Summary
This bill allows the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to use money from the Local Government Records Management Fund, which is funded by a small fee collected when public records are filed in counties and municipalities, to pay for a broader range of services. Previously, these funds could only be used to support the department's Local Government Records Office and a grant program. Now, the department can use the money to provide services to counties and municipalities that help them manage their records, preserve historical items, and support museum services, thereby enhancing the department's ability to assist local governments with their archival and historical needs.
