Appropriation; Funeral Services Board.

SB 3020 appropriates $330,143 from the state treasury to fund the Mississippi State Board of Funeral Services for fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). It authorizes two permanent staff positions for the board and strictly limits spending to prevent exceeding the budget, requiring agencies to use funds only for new hires - not salary increases or promotions. The bill mandates detailed accounting records matching 2025 standards and requires the board to prioritize purchases from Mississippi Industries for the Blind when bids are equal. It also ensures funds comply with state budget laws and prohibits using state funds to replace withdrawn federal or special funds.
