Appropriation; Motor Vehicle Commission.

SB 3023 appropriates $378,324 from state funds to cover the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission's (MVC) operating expenses for fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). It authorizes 3 permanent staff positions and strictly limits fund usage to cover salaries for new hires or vacancies - not raises for current employees - while requiring the MVC to maintain detailed financial records. The bill also mandates that purchases prioritize Mississippi Industries for the Blind when bids are equal and prohibits using state funds to replace withdrawn federal or special funds. This is a funding bill focused solely on the MVC's budget, with no policy changes beyond financial oversight.
