Bill > SB3068

This bill appropriates $690,254 to the Board of Tax Appeals to cover its expenses for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, with $609,399 specifically allocated for "Personal Services," which includes salaries, wages, and fringe benefits for its six permanent employees. The bill also outlines strict guidelines for how these "Personal Services" funds can be used, emphasizing that they cannot be transferred to other expenditure categories and must comply with the state's Variable Compensation Plan, ensuring no employee's salary falls below the minimum established by the Mississippi State Personnel Board. Furthermore, the Board of Tax Appeals is required to maintain detailed accounting and personnel records comparable to the previous fiscal year and submit its next budget request in a similar format, while also being directed to give preference to the Mississippi Industries for the Blind when purchasing commodities or equipment.
