Appropriation; Engineers and Land Surveyors, Board of Registration for Professional.
This bill appropriates $674,227 in state funds for the Mississippi Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to cover its expenses during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The funds specifically support staff salaries and benefits ($468,557), including $139,036 designated to fill open positions (vacancy funding) and authorizing one new customer service role. It strictly limits spending to prevent exceeding budgeted amounts for personnel costs and requires compliance with state salary guidelines. The board must maintain detailed financial records and submit future budget requests in a standardized format.
