Governor Bryant sets date for special called session

PINE BELT, MS. - Governor Phil Bryant set the date for a special called session. Lawmakers will meet June 5 to discuss the 2018 fiscal budget.

He said on his Facebook page, "Although the legislative process will determine the length of the session, I anticipate lawmakers will finish their work as quickly as possible, to minimize costs to taxpayers."

Legislators ended their regular session in March without passing budgets for the Department of Transportation and Attorney General's Office.
