Charles Tyler Norman reported out of committee for Magcor board seat
Summary
The committee reported out the nomination of Charles Tyler Norman to Magcor's board by consent. Senators pressed Norman and the chair on Magcor's role in prison workforce training and whether the program should remain under MDOC oversight.
Charles Tyler Norman was reported out of committee by consent after the chair introduced his nomination to the Magcor board (formerly Mississippi Prison Industries Corporation). The chair described Magcor as a quasi public-private entity overseeing workforce training in the state prison system and named Norman to fill a vacancy through June 30, 2028.
Norman, joining by Zoom, summarized his business background and prior public-service appointments and said he would work to make Magcor "an entity that stays around." The chair, identifying himself as chair of economic workforce development, said he is "beyond frustrated" with seven years of workforce outcomes for incarcerated individuals and urged Norman to use his seat to demonstrate Magcor's effectiveness. The committee moved the nomination by consent and the chair said the nomination would be reported out.
The chair also asked Norman to keep his statement of economic interest current; Norman acknowledged the reminder and thanked the committee before departing.
Next steps: the nomination was reported out of the committee and will proceed according to the Senate's confirmation process.
