Appropriation; Accountancy, Board of Public.
SB 2021 appropriates $753,471 for the Mississippi State Board of Public Accountancy to cover its fiscal year 2026 expenses (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). It specifically allocates $479,746 for employee salaries, wages, and benefits (with strict limits on using these funds only for authorized headcounts and no salary reductions below state minimums) and $42,000 for investigations and hearings. The bill requires strict adherence to budget limits, prohibits using funds for non-authorized purposes (like promotions), and mandates preference for Mississippi Industries for the Blind in procurement. This is a procedural funding bill affecting the Board’s operations and staffing, not a policy change.
