	U.S. Senate: Reference Home > Constitution of the United States
		The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.
		The House of Representatives was intended to be "the people's house." Its members were elected directly by the voters in the states, and the entire House would have to stand for election every two years.
		For many years the House increased its size as the nation’s population grew, but in 1911 the number of representatives was fixed at 435 (together with non-voting delegates representing several territories and the District of Columbia).

	Mississippi Academy of Physician Assistants
		At the end of the meeting the Mississippi nurses vowed to reevaluate their previous policy (the MNA had a 1985 position paper opposing PA practice) and to keep the lines of communication open.
		The physician representing the MSBML responded by saying that the medical board had taken a very conservative path when regulating physicians, and could be expected to do the same with PAs.
		The most recent improvements seen by Mississippi PAs are the amendments made by the MSBML allowing PAs to prescribe controlled substances as well as the passage of the temporary licensure law.

	Governor Haley Barbour
		After full consideration, I am vetoing House Bill 1115, which would require the Legislature to give in perpetuity $20,000,000 a year, increased annually for inflation, of state funds received under the 1997 tobacco settlement to a private non-profit corporation, the Partnership for a Healthy Mississippi.
		House Bill 1115 did not pass either House of the Legislature by that margin.
		Mississippi needs a new, comprehensive approach to fighting tobacco, and the diseases it causes, which builds on the things the Partnership has done well, but includes oversight to prevent the waste, abuse, and politicizing of public health efforts.

		It should be fairly obvious to everyone why we in the Mississippi Legislature are on the brink of a special session to craft a budget for state fiscal year 2006.
		The House passed several resolutions to extend the regular session to continue work, with the Senate finally acting five minutes before the session was scheduled to end at midnight on April 5, but it only gave us 24 more hours to work, not enough time as it turned out.
		While the House leadership remains open to suggestions from the governor and Senate over the '06 budget, the base premise for funding public education, health care and public safety remains key to any agreement.

		Under the present rules, which the House wants to keep, a person can be convicted of causing only one percent of the damage and then be held liable for up to 50 percent cost.
		The point is the House's 50 percent rule is solely so that if some of the victims of Mississippi's Jackpot Justice go broke, the trial lawyers still get their money from the ones still breathing.
		The House of Representatives wants to keep their trial lawyer friends on top and Mississippi on the economic and health-care bottom.

		The state House of Representatives was forced to decide the 1999 governor's race when neither Democrat Ronnie Musgrove nor Republican Mike Parker won a majority of the vote.
		The scenario of a governor's race having to be decided by a House divided in the midst of a speaker's race represents uncharted waters in Mississippi politics.
		The House is divided into three distinct political blocs at this juncture — the Black Caucus, the Republicans and the so-called "Rural White Democrats." The prolonged tort reform battle last year saw those groups strengthen to an even greater degree than the normal.

		Testimony given during a hearing held by the House Committee on Hurricane Recovery shows that the modular housing industry may be one solution to solving not only the immediate housing problem on the Mississippi Coast, but statewide as well.
		Carl said that the sales tax rate on modular housing is at “the top of the list” among roadblocks that modular manufacturers currently face when considering Mississippi as a place to place the homes.
		“Mississippi is one of the few places to treat the purchase of a modular home like you would buy a TV set,” he said, explaining that currently the state taxes modular homes at the full 7-percent sales tax rate.

		The Mississippi State Senate recently passed a bill that, if adopted by the House of Representatives, will create a three-tiered driver licensing system designed to help reduce the dreadful number of teen motor vehicle crashes.

		In Mississippi, 15-to-19-year-old drivers make up approximately 7 percent of all licensed drivers but are involved in 16 percent of the total traffic crashes, and 12 percent of all fatal crashes.
