What changed in the latest version
2 added · 2 removedPlain-language change summary
The revised version of Bill SB 2797 now includes a specific geographical limit on the expense allowance, stating that it applies to the area in Jackson, Mississippi, or the respective district of the official. Additionally, it specifies that out of twenty permitted days of expense allowance per month, no more than eight days can be used for judicial duties within that district. This change adds clarity about where these allowances can be used and sets a limit on days for judicial activities, which could help ensure that funds are being used appropriately and that officials remain accountable in their public duties.
