Appropriation; Governor's Office and Mansion.

SB 2045 appropriates $3,206,626 from the State General Fund and $637,372 from Special Funds to cover the Governor's Office, staff, and mansion operations for fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). It authorizes 39 permanent and 7 time-limited staff positions for these operations and requires detailed financial records matching the prior fiscal year’s standards. The bill also directs preference for Mississippi Industries for the Blind in purchasing decisions when bids are equal. This is a routine funding measure for existing executive branch operations, not a policy change affecting the public.
