Bill > HB1772

This bill is an appropriation act that provides additional funding for several state agencies for fiscal year 2025, with specific allocations targeting different operational needs. For the Department of Child Protection Services, the bill includes three separate appropriations (though all currently marked at $0.00) to cover out-of-state therapeutic placement expenditures, operational expenses related to increased children in custody and in-home cases, and temporary placement expenditures. The Mississippi State Department of Health receives an additional appropriation (also currently marked at $0.00) to cover legal expenses associated with the City of Jackson Water litigation. The Office of the State Treasurer is allocated $163,000 from the Abandoned Property Fund to support the unclaimed property data match project. These appropriations are designed to help state agencies manage specific financial challenges and operational requirements for the upcoming fiscal year, with the act set to take effect on July 1, 2025. The bill demonstrates the legislature's ongoing process of supplementing and adjusting state agency budgets to address emerging needs and unexpected expenses.
