Cleary Water, Sewer and Fire District; increase compensation for commissioners of.

HB 1377 would increase the daily compensation for commissioners of the Cleary Water, Sewer and Fire District to $84 per meeting, matching rates set for other similar districts in Mississippi. The bill specifically amends Section 19-5-171 of Mississippi law to establish this rate for Cleary District commissioners, who previously received a lower payment. Commissioners would receive this amount for each board meeting attended (regular or special), plus reimbursement for necessary expenses. The bill, which died in committee in February 2026, proposed this change to align Cleary District's compensation with neighboring districts like Hancock County Water and Sewer District.
