HB 1923 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Appropriation; Athletic Commission.

HB 1923 appropriates $175,312 from state funds to cover the Mississippi Athletic Commission’s expenses for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027), with $58,867 specifically designated for employee salaries, wages, and benefits. The bill strictly limits "Personal Services" spending to prevent exceeding this salary budget, prohibits using these funds for promotions or salary increases, and requires the Commission to maintain detailed financial records matching its FY2026 reporting standards. It also mandates that any future budget requests for FY2028 must follow the same detailed format as the current year’s submission.
