Bill Summary · SN 21

Legislative bill overview

This bill appoints Bennie Lee Adkins from Union, Mississippi to serve on the State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering as a barber representative for the First Supreme Court District. The appointment carries a two-year term effective July 8, 2024, through July 31, 2026.

Why is this important

Potential points of contention

  • Limited public information about Bennie Lee Adkins' qualifications, experience, or background is provided in the bill text itself
  • No details on whether this represents a contested appointment or if there were alternative candidates considered
