Bill > HB1792

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the State General Fund to the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) for the purpose of providing funding to Alcorn State University's Mississippi Small Farm and Agribusiness Center to expand research and production of shiitake mushrooms during the fiscal year 2025-2026. The funding will be disbursed by the State Treasurer through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer upon proper requisition. The bill specifies that the appropriated funds will come from unallocated money in the State General Fund, and the act will take effect on July 1, 2025. The goal appears to be supporting agricultural research and development at Alcorn State University, specifically focusing on expanding shiitake mushroom research and production capabilities through the university's Small Farm and Agribusiness Center.
