Government Structure

SB 2632 is a procedural bill that reorganizes existing sections of Mississippi's Emergency Management Law (Mississippi Code of 1972) by moving specific code sections (33-15-1 through 33-15-53) to new positions in the code. It does not change the content or policy of these sections, which cover definitions, purposes, and structure of the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). The bill’s sole purpose is to facilitate future amendments by updating the code’s numbering. This reorganization affects the legal code itself, not individuals or entities, and requires no action from the public or agencies.

SB 2622, the "Mississippi One Door Website Act," requires the state’s Department of Information Technology Services (ITS) to create a single website allowing Mississippi residents and businesses to access all state agency services through one login. The website must enable data sharing between agencies (while protecting privacy), let users check eligibility for programs, avoid duplicate filings, and provide updates on relevant state laws. It also mandates business owners can file registrations and operating requirements online through this platform. The site must be fully operational by January 1, 2028, with ITS authorized to establish rules for its implementation.

SB 2623 creates the Mississippi Office of Apprenticeship under the Department of Employment Security and establishes a State Apprenticeship Council. The Office will implement apprenticeship programs, define terms like "apprentice" and "apprenticeship agreement," and promulgate necessary rules. The Apprenticeship Council, composed of specified members, provides advisory guidance to the Office on program operations but cannot replace it as the state's registration agency. This bill sets up the administrative framework for Mississippi's apprenticeship system without creating new financial benefits or direct program requirements for employers or workers.
