Bill > SB3226

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the State General Fund to the City of Charleston, Mississippi, specifically to help cover the costs of purchasing city utility vehicles during the fiscal year 2026 (which runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026). The bill outlines that the State Treasurer will distribute the funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer, which will be processed upon requisition by the appropriate city officials following standard legal procedures. The appropriation is intended to assist the city in updating or replacing its utility vehicle fleet, and the bill specifies that the funding will take effect on July 1, 2025. This type of targeted appropriation is common in state legislatures, allowing local municipalities to receive state funding for specific infrastructure or equipment needs that might otherwise strain their municipal budgets.
