Appropriation; Attorney General.

This bill appropriates approximately $41 million in state and special funds to cover the expenses of the Mississippi Attorney General's Office for fiscal year 2025. The legislation authorizes the hiring of 88 permanent and 210 time-limited full-time positions while establishing strict rules to prevent using these funds for salary increases or promotions of existing staff. It also sets specific performance targets for the office, such as maintaining high success rates in criminal and civil cases, responding to consumer complaints within five days, and completing legal opinions within a 30-day window. Additionally, the bill requires the agency to maintain detailed accounting records and submit future budget requests in a standardized format to ensure fiscal accountability.
