Bill > SB3082

This bill appropriates $384,213 from special funds in the State Treasury to the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission to cover its expenses for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027. A significant portion of these funds, specifically $274,515, is designated for "Personal Services," which encompasses employee salaries, wages, and fringe benefits, and cannot be transferred to other spending categories. The bill also outlines that the commission is authorized to have 3 permanent employees and specifies that "Vacancy Funding" is intended to increase the number of filled positions rather than raise salaries for existing employees. Furthermore, the commission 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, and it must give preference to the Mississippi Industries for the Blind when purchasing commodities or equipment. The bill also emphasizes that the agency cannot incur obligations exceeding its appropriation and that all expenditures must comply with state law.
