Tishomingo County Water District; revise provisions relating to compensation and reimbursement.
HB 1558 amends Mississippi law to set a specific daily compensation rate of $84 for commissioners of the Tishomingo County Water District, aligning them with existing rates for commissioners of several Hancock County water and sewer districts. The bill establishes that these commissioners will be paid $84 per meeting attended (regular or special) and reimbursed for necessary expenses under existing rules. It does not change the annual limit of 24 meetings for compensation or alter other reimbursement procedures. This is a procedural adjustment to standardize compensation rates for water district commissioners in Tishomingo County.
