Maddy summaryHB 1776 provides funding for the Mississippi Department of Archives and History for the 2025 fiscal year, authorizing approximately $39 million in total appropriations from state general and special funds. The bill authorizes a workforce of 165 employees, including 155 permanent positions and 10 time-limited roles, while establishing strict rules to prevent salary increases for current staff and requiring written approval for any position escalations. Specific allocations include $2 million for preserving Mississippi Landmark Properties, $100,000 for repairs at the Beauvoir Shrine, and $750,000 for maintenance of state historic buildings like the Old Capitol and War Memorial. Additional provisions mandate that the department charge maximum allowable fees for its services, give purchasing preference to the Mississippi Industries for the Blind, and ensure compliance with federal tax reporting requirements.
