HB1545

Mississippi HB1545 prohibits professional engineering firms from adding markups to fees for municipal services.

Mississippi HB1545 mandates that professional engineering firms can only charge direct fees for services provided to municipalities. The bill explicitly prohibits these firms from adding markups to cover indirect costs, overhead, and profit. The term "markup" is defined as adding a percentage or fixed amount to the direct cost of services. This act aims to ensure transparency and fairness in the fees charged by professional engineering firms to municipalities.
