Bill > HB751

This bill extends the sunset date for the Capital City Water/Sewer Projects Fund, which is a special fund in the State Treasury dedicated to assisting the City of Jackson with costs related to its water and sewer system projects. The original law, Section 29-5-251 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, established this fund and set a repeal date of January 1, 2027, meaning the fund and its associated provisions would cease to exist on that date. This bill amends that section to push the repeal date back to January 1, 2030, effectively extending the life of the fund and the ability to use its resources for water and sewer improvements in Jackson for an additional three years. The fund is managed by the Department of Finance and Administration, and money within it can be used for construction, repairs, and upgrades to the city's water and sewer systems, with a small portion allowed for administrative costs.
