SB 3407 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Jackson County; revise powers and duties of county fair board.

This bill authorizes the Jackson County Board of Supervisors to create and appoint a five-member county fair board to oversee fair operations and fairground facilities. The board will consist of qualified voters from each supervisor district, with members serving concurrent terms and receiving per diem payments for meetings attended. Key provisions grant the board authority to manage fair activities, establish rules for fairground use, hire staff, operate concession stands, and make contracts related to fair operations. The board must report annually on fair activities and can recommend fairground usage for large events, while the Board of Supervisors retains oversight and funding control.
