State Treasurer of Mississippi is a post created in 1817 when the state was admitted to the Union. Before the state was formed by splitting the Alabama Territory from the Mississippi Territory, an equivalent post was the Territorial Treasurer General, established in 1802.

History

The position of state treasurer was enumerated as part of the executive branch in Mississippi's first constitution in 1817. The office was filled by the choice of the Mississippi Legislature.Template:Sfn The first treasurer, Samuel Brooks, was elected on December 19, 1817.Template:Sfn The 1832 constitution stipulated that the treasurer was to be popularly elected to serve a two-year term.Template:Sfn The 1869 constitution expanded the officer's term to four years.Template:Sfn

Powers, responsibilities, and structure

Under Article 5, Section 134, of the Mississippi Constitution, the state treasurer is elected every four years. Candidates for the office must meet the same constitutional qualifications as candidates for the position of secretary of state; they must be at least 25 years old and have lived in the state for at least five years.Template:Sfn The office holder is not subject to term limits.[1] Most of the treasurer's duties are determined by state statute.Template:Sfn

The treasurer is responsible for keeping certain financial records for the state, including receipts, deposits, and disbursement of money from the state treasury.[1] The constitution requires the treasurer to review and approve all contracts for the provision of "stationery, printing, paper, and fuel" for state agencies and the legislature.Template:Sfn They also oversee public bond issues.[1] The treasurer is ex officio the treasurer of the Mississippi Employment Security Commission and chair of the College Savings Plan of Mississippi Board.

The treasurer's salary is $90,000 per year, but is set to increase to $120,000 annually in 2024.[3]
