Appropriation; Pharmacy, Board of.
SB 3075 appropriates $4,398,210 in state funds for the Mississippi State Board of Pharmacy to cover its expenses during fiscal year 2027 (July 2026-June 2027), with $2,897,314 specifically designated for salaries, wages, and benefits for its 21 authorized permanent staff positions. The bill restricts how these funds can be used, requiring that salary increases and headcount changes comply with Mississippi’s Variable Compensation Plan and not exceed the allocated budget without legislative approval. It mandates that the Board achieve 100% of licenses and renewals processed within specified timeframes (10 business days for new licenses, 2 for renewals). This funding bill directly affects the Board of Pharmacy’s operational budget and staffing, with no policy changes beyond financial allocation.
