MS SB2006

Reconstitutes the Mississippi Fair Commission as an independent body politic and corporate, reversing its 2020 abolition and transfer of powers to the Department of Agriculture and Commerce.

Establishes the commission's composition with seven members: the Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce as chairman, and representatives from Mississippi State University Extension Service, Mississippi Cattlemen's Association, Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation, Junior League of Jackson, Visit Mississippi, and Mississippi Horse Show Association.

Restores the commission's powers to manage the State Fairgrounds in Jackson, set premium awards for livestock shows (minimum $1,000), charge admission fees, enter into leases and naming rights agreements, and employ a director and attorney.

Authorizes the commission to accept donations, manage special funds from fairground revenues and leases for capital improvements and operations, and establish a private foundation for fundraising while maintaining separate accounting.

Takes effect July 1, 2025.
