Cleary Water, Sewer and Fire District; increase compensation of commissioners for.

HB 1996 would have allowed the Cleary Water, Sewer and Fire District commissioners to increase their pay to up to $84 per day for attending board meetings (regular or special), while also maintaining reimbursement for official expenses. This bill directly affected the five commissioners serving on the Cleary District's board. The proposed change would have overridden a previous Mississippi law (Section 19-5-171) that set lower compensation rates. The bill was referred to committee but died there on April 3, 2025, and never became law.
