This bill appropriates funds for the State Fire Academy for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, allocating a total of $7,847,403.00 from the State General Fund and $525,500.00 from special funds. A significant portion of these funds, $6,080,871.00, is designated for "Personal Services," which includes salaries, wages, and fringe benefits for employees, with specific amounts set aside for "Vacancy Funding" to fill authorized but unfilled positions. The bill also outlines performance targets for the academy, including training 10,125 students at an average cost of $862.32 per student, and requires the academy to maintain detailed accounting and personnel records. Additionally, it specifies allocations for the Instructional Pay Plan, refurbishment of the campus water system, vehicle pool replacements, and iPad updates for instructional use, and reappropriates funds for the water system and a specialty rescue truck from previous legislative authorizations. The bill also includes provisions for giving preference to the Mississippi Industries for the Blind in purchasing decisions and emphasizes that no state agency should incur obligations exceeding its appropriation.
