MS SB2688

Amends Mississippi Code Section 21-15-41 to reduce the maximum time a person can serve in an interim or holdover capacity in municipal positions from 180 days to 60 days.

If a position requiring municipal governing body or mayoral appointment is not filled within 60 days, the holdover service terminates and no municipal funds may be expended to compensate the person.

Any actions or votes taken after the 60-day period are invalid and without effect.

Prevents a mayor from resubmitting or reappointing an individual rejected or not confirmed by the council or board of aldermen during the remainder of the mayor's current term.

Allows registered municipal voters to file objections in chancery court regarding violations of this section, with courts authorized to award reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party.
