Appropriation; Judicial Performance Commission.

This bill appropriates $891,741 from the State General Fund and $27,268 from the State Treasury to cover the Commission on Judicial Performance's expenses for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). It authorizes six permanent staff positions, caps the director’s salary at chancellor-level pay (Mississippi Code §25-3-35), and requires detailed financial reporting. Additionally, $140,000 is specifically allocated to hire an attorney to audit and monitor Youth Courts operations. The bill funds existing commission operations without creating new policy, directly affecting the commission’s staffing and oversight capabilities.
