Bill > HB61

This bill appropriates $100,000,000 from the State General Fund, which is the state's main operating fund, to the Boards of Trustees of Coahoma Community College and Mississippi Delta Community College for campus facility repairs and improvements. This funding is designated for use from the bill's passage until June 30, 2027, with each college receiving an equal share of $50,000,000. The funds are intended for a variety of purposes, including renovating historic buildings, upgrading infrastructure like electrical and plumbing systems, improving student housing, developing modern academic spaces and labs, enhancing safety and security, and undertaking environmental sustainability projects. As a condition for receiving these funds, each college must develop a detailed plan for how they will use their allocated money, including specific timelines for the work, and must submit annual reports to the Legislature on their progress, expenditures, and any project challenges.
