Bill > HB1925

This bill appropriates $117,462.00 from the State Treasury to the Mississippi Auctioneers Commission to cover its operating expenses for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027. The bill also outlines the Legislature's intent that the Commission maintain detailed accounting and personnel records comparable to those from Fiscal Year 2026 and submit future budget requests in a similar format. Furthermore, it mandates that the Commission give preference to purchases from the Mississippi Industries for the Blind when acquiring commodities or equipment, whether through competitive bids or without them, provided all other factors like price, quality, and service are equal. The bill also emphasizes that the appropriated funds must be spent in compliance with state law, preventing the agency from incurring obligations exceeding its appropriation, with responsible officers held accountable for any violations. Finally, it specifies that the funds will be disbursed by the State Treasurer upon proper authorization and that the act will become effective on July 1, 2026.
