HB 1025 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Department of Corrections; eliminate executive deputy commissioner from.

This bill proposes to remove the position of Executive Deputy Commissioner from the Mississippi Department of Corrections. The legislation aims to streamline the department's leadership structure by eliminating this specific role while maintaining other deputy commissioner positions for administration, community corrections, and institutions. By repealing the statutory requirement for an Executive Deputy Commissioner, the bill simplifies the chain of command within the state's corrections system. This change directly affects the department's organizational chart and the hiring practices for top-level administrative staff.
