State Treasury Efficiency Act; enact.
SB 2843, the "State Treasury Efficiency and Transparency Act," requires all Mississippi state agency funds - both inside and outside the State Treasury - to be held in interest-bearing accounts. It mandates that funds within the State Treasury be pooled into investment accounts managed by the Treasurer when feasible, and directs an annual review to identify "idle" funds (those with no activity except interest earnings) for potential consolidation or closure. State agencies must report detailed fund information to the Treasurer by 2025, with annual reports to the Legislative Budget Office starting in 2028. The bill directly affects all state agencies managing public funds, aiming to ensure idle money earns interest and improve fiscal transparency.

MODERATE
The bill was amended from its original 'As Introduced' version to the 'As Passed the Senate' version. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, but the formatting was standardized, page headers were removed, and the effective date was added as a new Section 5. The Senate version also corrected some formatting inconsistencies and added clarity to the reporting requirements.
TIMELINE
Added Section 5 establishing that the act takes effect on July 1, 2025, which was not present in the original version.
TECHNICAL
Removed page headers, footers, and tracking numbers that were present in the original version but not part of the actual legislative text.
Standardized formatting of section headers and removed inconsistent line breaks and spacing from the original version.
Corrected some formatting issues in the bill title and summary lines to match standard legislative formatting.
