Bill > HB1131

This bill is a comprehensive appropriations measure that amends and clarifies funding allocations for various local improvement projects across Mississippi in 2024. Specifically, the bill makes technical corrections to three sections of a previous law: Section 5 of the 2022 IHL (Institutions of Higher Learning) Capital Improvements Fund, Section 7 of the 2022 State Agencies Capital Improvements Fund, and Section 10 of the 2024 Local Improvements Projects Fund. The amendments involve minor language adjustments, such as clarifying project descriptions, correcting project names, and making technical edits to how funds can be used. For the higher education fund, the changes include modifications to project descriptions for various universities, such as adjusting language about residence hall construction and renovation projects. For the state agencies fund, the changes include revising the description of a training facility project for the Department of Public Safety. The local improvements section contains numerous specific funding allocations for cities, counties, and organizations across Mississippi, ranging from infrastructure improvements and road repairs to equipment purchases for fire departments and local government facilities. The bill ensures that these funds can be used precisely as intended, with some flexibility for agencies to reallocate unused funds for general repairs and renovations.
