§ 25-3-40. Annual salary increases; intent to implement minimum wage and maximize salary increases.
 

On July 1, 1978, and each year thereafter, the Mississippi Compensation Plan shall be amended to provide salary increases in such amounts and percentages as might be recommended by the legislative budget office and as may be authorized by funds appropriated by the legislature for the purpose of granting incentive salary increases as deemed possible dependent upon the availability of general and special funds. 
 

It is hereby declared to be the intent of the Mississippi legislature to implement the minimum wage as enacted by statutory law of the United States Congress subject to funds being available for that purpose. It is the intent and purpose of this section to maximize annual salary increases consistent with the availability of funds as might be determined by the Mississippi legislature at its regular annual session and that all salary increases hereafter be made consistent with the provisions of this section.
