MS HB210

Creates the Mississippi Commission on Wage Review with seven members from state agencies, business organizations, and appointed positions to examine wages paid to Mississippi employees in both public and private sectors.

Requires the commission to review wages at least every two years, compare Mississippi wages to Southeastern regional wages, and submit biennial reports to the Mississippi Department of Employment Security and the Legislature.

Brings forward numerous existing Mississippi Code sections (Sections 7-7-204 through 71-1-45) relating to employee compensation, salaries for elected and appointed officials, travel expenses, and wage-related policies for possible amendment.

Commission must hold first meeting before August 1, 2020, elect a chair and vice chair, maintain a quorum of majority members, and receive cooperation from state departments and agencies for data and facilities needed to carry out duties.
