Appropriation; Massage Therapy, Board of.
This bill appropriates $219,128 from the state treasury to fund the Mississippi State Board of Massage Therapy for fiscal year 2027 (July 2026-June 2027). It directly affects the Board by providing dedicated funding for its operational expenses, including staff and administrative costs. The bill requires the Board to maintain detailed financial records matching those used in fiscal year 2026 and to submit its 2028 budget request in the same format as the 2027 request. It does not create new regulations for massage therapy but ensures continued funding and accountability for the existing Board.
