This bill died with 2020 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

The changes to Bill SB 2977 clarify the responsibilities of the Mississippi Development Authority regarding salary increases for fiscal year 2022. Specifically, it emphasizes that any salary increases for state agency positions cannot occur without a special approval from the State Personnel Board or explicit authorization in the bill. This matters because it ensures fiscal discipline by preventing unwarranted salary increases while allowing for a structured process to address specific needs if they arise, helping to maintain accountability within state agencies.
