AI Summary

This bill shifts the responsibility for administering the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant Program from the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH). It repeals a previous provision that allocated funds to the MDA for these grants, reduces the MDA's overall special funds appropriation for fiscal year 2025, and increases MDAH's special funds appropriation for the same period. Specifically, MDAH will now distribute $6,972,000 from the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant Program Fund to designated communities for various revitalization projects, as detailed in the bill.
