Bill > HB1917

This bill appropriates $394,691.00 from special funds in the State Treasury to the Mississippi State Board of Physical Therapy to cover its operational expenses for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027. A significant portion of these funds, specifically $223,126.00, is designated for "Personal Services," which includes employee salaries, wages, fringe benefits, and "Vacancy Funding" (funds set aside for approved but unfilled positions). The bill also specifies that the board is authorized to have a permanent headcount of 3 employees and outlines strict guidelines for managing these personnel funds, including limitations on transfers and salary adjustments, to ensure compliance with the Variable Compensation Plan and prevent exceeding the appropriated amounts. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the board maintain detailed accounting and personnel records comparable to the previous fiscal year and submit its future budget requests in a similar format, while also giving preference to the Mississippi Industries for the Blind for purchases.
