HB 482 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

MS Charter School Authorizer Board; authorize members to receive per diem and mileage compensation for attending meetings of the board.

HB 482 amends Mississippi Code Section 37-28-7 to explicitly authorize members of the Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board to receive reimbursement for per diem, mileage, and actual travel expenses incurred while attending board meetings or performing duties. The bill directly affects the seven members of the board (appointed by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and State Superintendent) who currently serve without salary but have been eligible for such reimbursement under existing law. This change formalizes and clarifies their compensation for meeting attendance and related duties, aligning with Section 25-3-69 of the Mississippi Code. The bill does not alter the board's structure, responsibilities, or charter school authorization processes.
