Appropriation; Accountancy, Board of Public.
SB 3025 appropriates $753,303 from the state treasury to cover the Mississippi State Board of Public Accountancy’s operating expenses for fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). The bill specifies that $42,000 must be used solely for investigations, testimony, and administrative hearings related to the board’s work, and includes restrictions on fund usage - such as prohibiting funds from replacing federal money or covering salary increases for current staff. It also directs the board to prioritize Mississippi Industries for the Blind in purchasing decisions.

MODERATE
The bill was amended from 'As Introduced' to 'As Passed the Senate', primarily involving formatting changes, page numbering removals, and minor text corrections. The substantive policy content regarding funding amounts, authorized positions, and expenditure restrictions remains unchanged. The only notable substantive change is the correction of the effective date in Section 7, which now correctly states the act takes effect July 1, 2025, and repeals from June 30, 2025 (the original version had an incorrect repeal date of June 30, 2025 for an act effective July 1, 2025).
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; changes are primarily formatting and technical corrections.
