Speaker Jason White has shaken up the chairmanships for committees in the Mississippi House of Representatives for the new term. The appointments were announced Jan. 12.
White said he was enthusiastic to work with the Republican, Democrat and Independent Chairs and Vice Chairs to address “our State’s challenges and opportunities through a conservative lens to build a better, brighter Mississippi.”
One of the largest changes include four additional “sub-committees” to the Appropriations committee, which has now been named Appropriations A. While Chairman John Read (R) will remain over the head money committee, the four new committees will be chaired by Rep. Scott Bounds (Committee B), Rep. Clay Deweese (Committee C), Rep. Sam Mims (Committee D), Rep. Karl Oliver (Committee E). All are Republicans.
It should also be noted as part of a rule change made on January 5th, there will be no vice chairmanships in the four new Appropriations Committees B through E. Other changes in the rules can be found here.
