| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 69 Not Rated |
State Veterans Affairs Board; provide that certain employees of are nonstate service employees under state personnel system. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 91 Neutral |
Public Service Commission; remove from the provisions of the Mississippi Budget Transparency and Simplification Act. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: Although this bill returns public utilities funds to special funds, this bill maintains the limitation on the collection of taxes that requires collections not exceed the amount appropriated by the Legislature for the regulation of utilities. This bill ensures money collected from taxpayers is spent on government functions for which it was collected. This bill maintains accountability and transparency. | ||||
|
HB 104 Neutral |
Board of Supervisors of Hancock County; revise salary of attorney hired to prosecute cases for county. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill outlines the procedure for determining the salary of an attorney hired to prosecute cases in Hancock County as not exceeding 75% of the county judge's salary. | ||||
|
HB 106 Bad Policy |
State budget; revise provisions in several FY21 appropriation bills. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill makes specific changes to numerous FY21 appropriations from Special Fund sources. Special Funds contribute significantly to cronyism and a reduction of transparency and accountability in government. | ||||
|
HB 109 Neutral |
State budget; enact and revise various provisions relating to. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill removes language that is no longer applicable and preserves the sound policy of 98% allocation of the general funds for this fiscal year. | ||||
|
HB 111 Neutral |
Community and junior colleges; authorize boards of trustees to approve policies permitting waiver of out-of-state tuition. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases accountability at the school level by tightening the existing statute authorizing out-of-state tuition waivers. This bill requires the president of each school to request a waiver of out-of-state tuition and limits the waivers to adjacent geographic areas, which is in line with the criteria for such waivers in surrounding states, rather than applying an overarching board instituted policy across all public colleges. However, this bill also removes the requirement for local industry, business, or state agency reimbursement. This policy change could potentially lead to increased budget requests by community and junior colleges. | ||||
|
HB 148 Bad Policy |
Mississippi Development Authority Tourism Advertising Fund; use portion of monies in to advertise state parks. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill expands the size and scope of government beyond its proper role. | ||||
|
HB 199 Bad Policy |
Appropriation; additional for various state agencies for Fiscal Year 2021. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill makes specific changes to numerous FY21 appropriations from both the Capital Expense Fund and Special Fund sources. Special Funds contribute significantly to cronyism and a reduction of transparency and accountability in government. | ||||
|
HB 211 Bad Policy |
Insurance Department; remove from the provisions of the Mississippi Budget Transparency and Simplification Act. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|

| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 307 Good Policy |

| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 413 Bad Policy |
Mississippi Gospel Music Trail; authorize MDA Division of Tourism to establish program and historical markers for. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill establishes a new special fund to allocate taxpayer money for a purpose that is outside the proper role of government. | ||||
|
HB 424 Neutral |
Memorial highways; designate. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 464 Neutral |
Parole board; revise notification time frame given to offender's victim for offender release and remove certain prohibition. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill clarifies the language with regards to specific notification requirements regarding an offender's release. In addition, this bill could potentially lead to increased government spending as it specifically and absolutely removes the prohibition on additional salary and per diem for members of the State Parole Board. (See lines 205-207) | ||||
|
HB 466 Neutral |
Inmate Welfare Fund; require DOC to expend unused portions of the fund on reentry purposes. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: Ideally, government should reduce its spending to eliminate “unused portions” of taxpayers' money sitting in a government account instead of in the hands of the taxpayers who earned the money. However, this bill ensures taxpayers’ money is spent in a manner consistent with the reason for its collection. | ||||
|
HB 505 Bad Policy |
Mississippi Broadband Accessibility Act; create. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill expands the size of government and will inevitably lead to increased spending. The services proposed by this bill are not within the proper role of government. This bill increases government interference in the free market. | ||||
|
HB 576 Good Policy |
Local System Bridge Replacement & Rehabilitation Fund; revise allocation formula. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases government accountability and establishes responsible fiscal policy in the allocation of additional funds from the Local System Bridge Replacement & Rehabilitation Fund. This bill adds language to existing statute that ensures deficiencies are addressed before certification of eligibility for additional funds is granted. This bill institutes inspections necessary to verify existing deficiencies are in fact being addressed. | ||||
|
HB 695 Neutral |
State Domestic Violence Fund; remove the matching funds requirement for. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill neither expands nor reduces the size of government. This bill removes the requirement for matching funds at the local level for grants made at the state level to domestic shelters. Domestic shelters are registered at the state level. Ideally services such as domestic violence shelters should be provided by charity organizations, non-profits, and philanthropy. | ||||
|
HB 761 Good Policy |
State Veterans Affairs Board; revise powers and duties relating to the operation of the State Veterans Homes. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill clarifies accountability requirements for the State Veterans Affairs Board. In addition, this bill specifically states contracted property management services are not authorized to dispose of obsolete property. This policy ensures public property will not be sold by contractors for private gain. | ||||
|
HB 814 Neutral |
Public Procurement Review Board; exempt certain contracts entered into by Attorney General's office from oversight of. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases government efficiency in regards to the specific work of the Attorney General's office in which expert input and/or testimony is necessary. While the work of the Public Procurement Review Board helps to ensure transparency and attempts to decrease spending to the extent it is able, public requisitioning of expertise in a particular field in cases of litigation is not proper. | ||||
|
HB 852 Neutral |
Teachers' and teacher's assistants' salaries; provide increase to minimum salary. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 853 Good Policy |
Charter schools; revise deadlines for certain reporting requirements and to allow certain teacher units to those in first year of operation. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill conforms reporting requirements which will increase efficiency and possibly effectiveness. In addition, this allocates one teacher unit for Gifted and Special Education per school upon initial operation which ensures equal access to public resources in this regard. | ||||
|
HB 872 Neutral |
Memorial highway; designate a segment of United States Highway 61 in Jefferson County as the 'Highway Patrol Lieutenant Troy Morris Memorial Highway.' | Alive | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|

| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 1047 Neutral |
Nationally certified licensed school employees; delete caps on nurses and speech pathologists and add athletic trainers for salary supplements. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill enables salary incentives for increased education and training attainment by certain individuals employed in our public schools. Government should work to find innovative spending policies focused on performance. | ||||
|
HB 1123 Bad Policy |
Early Learning Collaborative Act of 2013; revise funding and specify teaching standards. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases government spending. A child's education, especially small children in their early stages of learning, is first and foremost the responsibility of parents. Expanding “Early Learning” is not fiscally responsible at this time. Furthermore, government should work to encourage family cohesion and parental responsibility not continually expand programs that provide safety nets for individuals’ choices. | ||||
|
HB 1154 Not Rated |
Mississippi Outdoors and Natural Resources Fund; create to provide source of private funds to promote outdoors and natural resources. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 1160 Neutral |
Dual Credit Community College Scholarship Program; create. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill has the potential to increase spending, but it does not mandate increased spending. This bill establishes a special fund scholarship program; however, the continued operation of the program is dependent upon Legislative appropriation. If no money is appropriated the program is suspended. (See lines 102 – 103) | ||||
|
HB 1179 Neutral |
William F. Winter and Jack Reed, Sr., Teacher Loan Repayment Program; create. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill attempts to consolidate and streamline Mississippi's education repayment programs. | ||||
|
HB 1231 Bad Policy |
Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund; create. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill, in its amended form, expands the size of government by creating a special fund for purposes outside the proper role of government and a new government board for the management of money taken from Mississippi taxpayers. In addition, this bill increases government spending by authorizing per diem for board members. Government should reduce its overall spending and not create new ways to funnel taxpayer money from the state’s general fund to earmarked programs. This bill is a clear example of putting lipstick on pork projects and calling them conservation projects. | ||||
|
HB 1251 Bad Policy |
Mississippi Workers' Compensation Commission; return to a special fund agency. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill reestablishes the Worker’s Compensation Commission as a special fund agency. This action reverses the 2016 legislation aimed at increasing government accountability and transparency, which eliminated nearly all special funding of government agencies and departments. | ||||
|
HB 1290 Neutral |
Attorney General; allow salaries of assistants to exceed statutory limitation under certain circumstances. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: | ||||
|
HB 1360 Bad Policy |
Appropriation; additional for the Department of Marine Resources for Fiscal Year 2021. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases government spending and decreases accountability. This bill adds an additional $2,000,000 to last year's budget for the Department of Marine resources with limited explanation as to the specific need for this additional money appropriated outside of the appropriation process for last year's budget. | ||||

SB 2001 Bad Policy |
Teachers' salaries; provide for increase. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases teachers’ salaries $1,000 in addition to the annual “step” increase already provided in the teacher pay scale and given to every teacher every year. This bill would provide the third pay increase since 2014. The 2014 and 2019 increases amount to an additional $176.9 million dollars needed every year. Adding another pay increase is simply not fiscally responsible during the middle of a pandemic when so many Mississippians face severe economic hardship and total lack of employment. Our government should focus on directing necessary resources to recovery efforts while maintaining a balanced budget to insure the economic stability of our state as a whole. | ||||

| Analysis: | ||||
|
SB 2062 Bad Policy |
Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program; authorize an additional round for counties and municipalities. | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill proposes to increase government spending. However, the Committee Substitute has a reverse repealer which repeals the bill the day before it would go into effect. This action is another mechanism utilized by the Legislature to send this bill back to committee for further amending. As a result, the rating of this bill is subject to change as it moves through the legislative process. | ||||

SB 2863 Bad Policy |
MDH; revise appropriation for FY2021 to allow purchase of accumulated compensatory time incurred before June 30, 2021. | Dead | ||
| Analysis: This bill initially changed the appropriation for the Department of Health to purchase unaccumulated compensatory time. However, the Committee Substitute for this bill adds in language to create a new “Special Treasury Fund" for the State Fire Academy Workforce Program” and remove this program from the requirement of being funded through the general fund. The State Fire Academy is required by statute to be funded by appropriation through the Legislature from the general fund. In addition to the creation of this special fund, this bill also specifically allows the State Fire Academy to utilize the monies in this special fund. This action is in direct contradiction to the Legislature's previous action during its 2016 session to eliminate unnecessary special funds and move in the direction of more responsible and accountable fiscal policies through streamlining the appropriation process by funding government functions from the general fund in a clear, line itemized approach. | ||||

Appropriations; additional appropriations for Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL). | Alive | ||
| Analysis: This bill increases government spending. Unfortunately, the bulk of the appropriations are required to meet existing legal issues and obligations that must be addressed. Many of these issues are the result of either poor policymaking, mishandling of resources and poor delivery of required services or the result of state government obligating taxpayer money to obtain federal funding for education and/or training programs. *The Neutral rating is only because this money must be spent. It is important to note that the policies which led to the necessity for the appropriation of these additional funds were Bad Policies. | ||||
