Budget of county sheriff, assessor and tax collector; remove certain obsolete reporting requirements concerning.
HB 274 removes outdated reporting requirements for county sheriff, assessor, and tax collector offices. Specifically, it eliminates the need for these officials to file monthly expense reports with the board of supervisors for approval and removes the requirement for the board to appropriate a quarterly lump sum for their office expenses. The bill does not change existing budget procedures for salaries, bonds, or other operational funding. This procedural update would have directly affected county-level law enforcement and tax administration offices across Mississippi. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026.
