Local Planning Commission members; authorize increase in monthly compensation.

SB 2429 would amend Mississippi law to allow cities and counties to increase monthly pay for local planning commission members beyond the current $500 cap. The bill specifically removes the $500 aggregate monthly limit set in Section 17-1-11, giving local governing authorities discretion to set higher compensation. This change directly affects planning commission members in Mississippi municipalities and counties who currently receive capped payments. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
