Bill > SB2977

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the State General Fund to the City of Natchez, Mississippi, specifically to support the design, fabrication, manufacture, and installation of a United States Colored Troops (USCT) Monument during fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026). The State Treasurer will disburse the funds upon receiving warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer, which must be signed by the appropriate authorized personnel according to standard legal procedures. The United States Colored Troops were African American soldiers who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, and this monument appears to be a local effort to commemorate their historical contributions and sacrifices. The appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025, providing the city with a significant financial resource to create a memorial honoring these soldiers' important role in American history.
