Bill > HB1714

This bill appropriates $800,000 from the State General Fund to the Marshall County Board of Supervisors to help fund preliminary studies for three specific infrastructure projects during the fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026). The studies cover three transportation-related projects: the Potts Camp Railroad Bridge and Bypass Project, the Byhalia Railroad Bridge Project, and the Red Banks Road Improvement Project. The bill specifies that the State Treasurer will disburse the funds upon receiving warrants from the State Fiscal Officer, which will be issued after requisite signatures are obtained. The appropriation will support initial planning phases for these transportation infrastructure improvements, including technical assessments like engineering, environmental impact, and cultural resource studies, which are typically conducted before major infrastructure projects can move forward. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, aligning with the start of the specified fiscal year.
