Appropriation; Attorney General.

HB 32 appropriates $46.39 million (split between $33.89 million general funds and $12.50 million special funds) for Mississippi's Attorney General's Office for fiscal year 2026. It directly affects the Attorney General's operations by funding salaries, staffing headcounts (91 permanent, 209 time-limited positions), and operational expenses. Key provisions strictly limit "Personal Services" spending to $30.72 million for salaries and fringe benefits, prohibit using funds for promotions or salary increases beyond budgeted amounts, and require compliance with Mississippi's Variable Compensation Plan. The bill mandates detailed financial reporting and ties funding to specific performance metrics like criminal conviction affirmations (target: 93%).
