Appropriation; Engineers and Land Surveyors, Board of Registration for Professional.

HB 1890 appropriates $1,277,547 from state funds to cover the operating expenses of Mississippi's State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). The bill specifically allocates $471,877 for "Personal Services," including salaries, benefits, and "Vacancy Funding" to fill authorized positions. It requires the board to maintain detailed financial records and prohibits using these funds for purposes beyond the board’s operational costs, such as promotions or salary increases for current staff. This is a procedural funding measure that directly supports the board’s administrative functions, affecting licensed engineers and land surveyors who rely on its regulatory services.
