State Aid Engineer; salary to be set by Governor, subject to rules of Personnel Board.

HB 1655 changes how the State Aid Engineer's salary is determined under Mississippi law. It amends Section 65-9-9 to require the Governor to set the State Aid Engineer's salary (previously likely set by statute), subject to the State Personnel Board's rules and guidelines. This directly affects the State Aid Engineer position and their assistants within the Office of State Aid Road Construction. The bill does not alter the engineer's qualifications, bond requirements, or other operational details of the office.
