SB 3221 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

General Fund; FY2027 appropriation for assistant district attorneys within the Sixth Circuit Court District.

This bill appropriates $574,272 from Mississippi's General Fund to cover salaries, travel, and office expenses for the Sixth Circuit Court District's legal staff during fiscal year 2027 (July 2026-June 2027). It specifically allocates funds for three full-time assistant district attorneys and $12,000 for district attorney office expenses, as authorized under state law. The bill prohibits using these funds to reimburse taxable meals for staff within the district. As a funding measure - not a policy change - it directly affects the Sixth Circuit Court District's assistant district attorneys and district attorney's office by ensuring their operational budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
