HB 36: Appropriation; Public Employees' Retirement System.

This bill appropriates $23.88 million from state funds for Mississippi's Public Employees' Retirement System during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). It specifically allocates $12.99 million for employee salaries, benefits, and filling 168 authorized positions (including one new "Retirement Benefits" role), with $731,871 reserved exclusively for filling unfilled vacancies - not for promotions or salary increases. The bill strictly prohibits exceeding these funds for personnel costs, requires maintaining detailed financial records matching prior years, and establishes a separate fund for building maintenance using rental income from the system's Jackson office. It directly affects Retirement System staff and their operational budgeting.
