Legislative compensation schedule; revise.
HB 1207 is a procedural bill that reorganizes Mississippi's existing legislative compensation laws without changing pay amounts. It revises Section 5-1-51 to clarify payment schedules for legislators' base salary ($10,000 per regular session) and mileage, while bringing forward Sections 5-1-41, 5-1-45, 5-1-46, and 5-1-47 to consolidate provisions for regular pay, per diem for extra sessions ($75/day), monthly office expense allowances ($1,500/month), and leadership salaries ($15,000 annually for President Pro Tempore and Speaker). The bill directly affects all Mississippi state legislators, including the Lieutenant Governor and leadership roles. It does not alter current compensation levels but reorganizes the legal references for clarity. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025.
