Appropriation; Contractors, Board of.
SB 2022 appropriates $4,319,483 from state special funds to the Mississippi State Board of Public Contractors for fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). It allocates $1.28 million specifically for salaries, wages, and benefits for 18 permanent staff positions, with strict limits to prevent exceeding budgeted amounts for personnel costs. An additional $2.3 million is designated for enforcement activities, collecting unpaid fines, and administrative costs related to contractor oversight. The bill also requires the Board to prioritize purchasing from Mississippi Industries for the Blind when bids are equal in price, quality, and service.
