Appropriation; Workers' Compensation Commission.
SB 2039 allocates $6,164,999 in state funds for the Mississippi Workers' Compensation Commission's operations during fiscal year 2026, including $5,000,826 specifically for employee salaries and benefits. The bill strictly limits "Personal Services" spending to $5.00M (covering salaries, fringe benefits, and vacancy funding for 55 authorized positions) and requires the Commission to maintain detailed records and meet specific performance targets, such as resolving 900 cases within three months. It also appropriates $25,000 for the Second Injury Fund and mandates a safety training contract with the private sector. This is a funding bill with no new policy provisions, solely authorizing budgeted expenditures for the Commission's existing responsibilities.
