Bill > HB1914

This bill appropriates $213,717.00 from special funds in the State Treasury to the Mississippi State Board of Nursing Home Administrators to cover its expenses for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027. Of this amount, $144,610.00 is specifically allocated for "Personal Services," which includes employee salaries, wages, and fringe benefits, and is intended to support a permanent headcount of two employees. The bill also outlines strict guidelines for the expenditure of these funds, emphasizing compliance with the Variable Compensation Plan and requiring the State Personnel Board to monitor and ensure that expenditures do not exceed the appropriated amounts for Personal Services, with specific definitions provided for terms like "Personal Services" and "Vacancy Funding" to prevent misuse of funds for salary increases for current employees. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Board maintain detailed accounting and personnel records, deposit all revenue into a special fund, and give preference to Mississippi Industries for the Blind in purchasing decisions, all while ensuring compliance with state laws regarding incurring debt and expenditure limits.
