Bill > HB96

This bill amends Section 29-17-4 of the Mississippi Code to increase the spending limit for repair, renovation, and improvement projects by state agencies from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000. Specifically, the bill modifies the State Agency Repair and Renovation Fund, which is a special fund in the State Treasury used for maintaining and upgrading existing state-owned facilities. The fund can be used for various types of improvements, including utility infrastructure projects, HVAC system upgrades, and replacement of furniture and equipment. The bill does not apply to facilities under the control of institutions of higher learning or community and junior colleges. The change will allow state agencies more financial flexibility to undertake larger repair and renovation projects, with the new maximum project cost set at $10 million. The amendment will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state agencies and financial administrators time to prepare for the increased spending authority.
