Mississippi Code Title 5. Legislative Department § 5-11-5

Whenever the Legislature creates a transition authority, the transition authority may carry out all functions provided for under Section 5-11-3 except for those duties conferred upon the State Department of Audit. If the transition authority does not express an intention in its official minutes of carrying out all functions provided for under Section 5-11-3 within ten (10) days of its creation under law, then it shall have no authority to perform such acts provided for under Section 5-11-3. If the transition authority chooses to perform the functions of Section 5-11-3, it shall do so in strict conformity with the provisions of 5-11-3. If the transition authority chooses not to perform these functions, it may review any plans, procedures or reports required under this chapter, but shall not impede or otherwise interfere with the activities of any agency authorized under law to perform any acts required under this chapter or any other laws of the State of Mississippi.
