Filing fees; amend usage of monies in the Local Government Records Management Fund.

SB 2372 amends Mississippi law to redirect funds from county and municipal filing fees (50 cents per $1 document filed) into the Local Government Records Management Fund. This fund will now specifically support the Department of Archives and History in providing records management, historic preservation, and museum services to counties and municipalities. The bill requires counties and municipalities to use these funds solely for proper records management according to state standards. It does not change the $1 filing fee amount or collection method but clarifies how the monies must be spent. The law takes effect July 1, 2026.
