AI Summary
This bill extends the deadline for certain exemptions from the Public Procurement Review Board's (PPRB) approval requirements for personal or professional services contracts. Specifically, it extends the repeal date for the exemption granted to the State Department of Health for contracts related to the ARPA Rural Water Associations Infrastructure Grant Program from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2029. The ARPA, or American Rescue Plan Act, is a federal law that provided significant funding to states and local governments to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and this grant program helps rural water associations with drinking water infrastructure projects funded by ARPA. The bill also makes conforming changes to another section of Mississippi law (Section 27-104-7) to extend other exemptions that are also set to expire in 2026, ensuring these related provisions align with the extended deadline for the water infrastructure grant program.
