Bill > SB3073

This bill appropriates $188,645 to the Mississippi State Board of Chiropractic Examiners for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, to support its operations. It also outlines the board's intention to maintain detailed accounting and personnel records comparable to the previous fiscal year and to submit future budget requests in a similar format. The bill further specifies that when purchasing commodities or equipment, preference should be given to the Mississippi Industries for the Blind if bids are equal in price, quality, and service, and this preference also applies to purchases made without competitive bids. Additionally, the appropriated funds must be used in compliance with state law, ensuring that no obligations or indebtedness exceed the appropriation, with responsible officers held accountable for any violations. A portion of the funds is allocated for potential charges related to system upgrades or migration under the Cloud Center of Excellence Act, and $40,000 is specifically designated for replacing and upgrading the licensing management system. The act takes effect on July 1, 2026.
