HB 1150 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Appellate court expense allowance; authorize receipt for judicial duties performed in any area of the state.

HB 1150 authorizes Mississippi Supreme Court Justices and Court of Appeals judges to receive a daily expense allowance while performing judicial duties outside Jackson. It sets specific limits: up to 20 days per month for duties in Jackson and 12 days per month for duties elsewhere in the state, with a total cap of 20 days per month across all locations. The allowance amount equals the federal government's high-rate daily expense rate for Jackson, Mississippi. This bill directly affects appellate judges by formalizing their travel expense reimbursement rules under state law.
