HB 1924: Appropriation; Attorney General.
This bill appropriates $34,822,884 from general funds and $10,179,931 from special funds to cover the Attorney General's office expenses for fiscal year 2027 (July 2026-June 2027). It specifically restricts "Personal Services" funds (covering salaries, wages, and fringe benefits) to a total of $31,891,779, with strict limits on using these funds for new hires, vacancies, or promotions. The bill requires compliance with Mississippi’s Variable Compensation Plan and prohibits using these funds to replace federal money or violate IRS reporting rules. It directly affects the Attorney General’s office budget and staffing decisions, including maintaining authorized headcounts (91 permanent, 209 time-limited positions).
