SB 2661 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Group purchasing; allow counties to participate in.

SB 2661 allows Mississippi counties to join group purchasing programs run by the Mississippi Association of Supervisors for buying supplies, equipment, and commodities. County boards of supervisors can approve participation via a formal resolution if it promotes cost savings or efficiency. Purchases made through this program are exempt from certain state procurement laws (Sections 31-7-9 to 31-7-13). The bill directly affects county governments by providing a streamlined, cost-saving purchasing option for routine operations.

What changed between versions

As Introduced → Current version · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was reformatted from a standard legislative introduction to a committee substitute version, indicating it has undergone review and amendment. The most significant substantive change is in Section 2, where the effective date was modified to include a repeal provision that would end the law on June 30, 2026, just one month after it takes effect on July 1, 2026. This creates a very short operational window for the group purchasing program authorization.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on authorizing county boards of supervisors to participate in group purchasing programs through the Mississippi Association of Supervisors, but the effective timeline has been significantly altered.
TIMELINE
