Plain-language change summary

The changes in Bill HB 1643 involve updates to the funding allocations for various educational programs in Mississippi for the fiscal year 2019-2020. Notably, the budget for the Mississippi School for the Deaf was adjusted, with the amount reduced from approximately $9.89 million to about $9.73 million. Additionally, there is a new provision ensuring that the state's personnel costs for the following fiscal year do not exceed the previous year's funding unless explicitly approved by the legislature. These changes are important because they affect how much funding educational institutions receive, which can impact resources and services provided to students.
