AI Summary

This bill extends the deadline for the Mississippi Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (MAICU) Infrastructure Grant Program, which provides grants to eligible independent colleges and universities for essential infrastructure projects like water, wastewater, stormwater, and broadband. These grants are funded by federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money, which is a federal law providing economic relief. The program, administered by the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration, was originally set to expire on July 1, 2026, but this bill pushes that repeal date to July 1, 2029, and also extends the availability of grant funds through December 31, 2029, ensuring that these institutions have more time to complete their infrastructure projects.
