Governor Amy Tuck Speaker of the House Billy McCoy Members of the Legislature The New Capitol Building Jackson, Mississippi As you are aware, Section 113 of the Mississippi Constitution states, “The auditor shall, within sixty days after the adjournment of the legislature, prepare and publish a full statement of all money expended at such session, specifying the items and amount of each item, and to whom, and for what paid; and he shall also publish the amounts of all appropriations.” It is important to remember the following compliance report is prepared by the Department of Finance and Administration in accordance with Section 7-7-45, Mississippi Code, Annotated (1972). Any specific questions regarding the report would best be directed to the Department of Finance and Administration. During the 2005 Regular Session of the Mississippi Legislature, appropriations for Fiscal Year 2006 were only $10,800 from the General Fund. There were no appropriations made from special funds or funds managed outside the State Treasury. During the 2005 Regular Session, the Legislature re- appropriated $18,818,023 of Fiscal Year 2005 appropriations for Fiscal Year 2006. As a result of the Legislature making only one appropria tion during the 2005 Regular Session, the Governor called a special session of the Legislature in May 2005 to address Fiscal Year 2006 appropriations. Appropriations made during this special session were not available at the date of this report.
