Returning to Jackson on May 14 would give lawmakers opportunity to address any vetoes from Gov. Tate Reeves.
Legislators extend 2024 session after missing budget deadline by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today April 29, 2024 Legislative leaders are optimistic that they will be able to start passing bills to fund the $7-billion budget to fund state services on Tuesday. “We will be rolling Tuesday and the day after I suppose,” said Senate Appropriations Chair Briggs Hopson, R-Vicksburg. Late Monday the House and Senate agreed on a resolution to extend the session.
Asked Monday if an agreement had been reached on the revenue bills, Senate Finance Chairman Josh Harkins, R-Brandon, who handles those proposals, said, “Gosh, I hope so. If not I am going holler a Jerry Clower for them to shoot up amongst us,” Harkins said referencing a skit by the Mississippi comic. It took a two-thirds vote of both chambers to pass the resolution to extend the session. It passed unanimously in the House, but six members of the 52-member Senate voted no.
