Appropriation; Architecture, Board of.
SB 3077 appropriates $369,241 in state funds for the Mississippi State Board of Architecture and Landscape Architecture Advisory Committee to cover expenses during fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). The bill specifically allocates $186,280 for personnel costs, including employee salaries and benefits, while restricting spending to authorized staff positions (2 permanent roles) and prohibiting salary reductions below state minimums. It requires strict budget adherence, limits "Vacancy Funding" to fill unfilled positions (not for raises or promotions), and mandates detailed financial reporting to the legislature. The bill ensures funds are used solely for the committee’s operational needs without exceeding appropriations.
