Appropriation; Real Estate Appraiser Licensing Certification Board.
HB 1919 appropriates $749,462 from state funds to cover the operating costs of Mississippi's Real Estate Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board for fiscal year 2027. The bill specifically allocates $381,490 for "Personal Services" (salaries, wages, and fringe benefits), with strict limits on salary increases and vacancy funding to ensure compliance with state personnel rules. It prohibits using these funds for promotions or salary adjustments for current staff and requires the board to maintain detailed financial records matching its 2026 reporting standards. This is a procedural budget measure that affects the board's staffing and payroll operations, not a new policy.
