SB 2848 Mississippi Senate · 2024 Regular Session

ARPA programs; revise related programs, provide procedure of unobligated funds, and transfer certain funds.

This Mississippi bill updates how funds from the American Rescue Plan Act are managed and clarifies eligibility for a nursing loan repayment program. It directs the state to move interest earned on unused local recovery funds into a state-level account and allows unspent local funds to be returned to the federal government. Additionally, the legislation adjusts rules for a program that helps nurses repay student loans in exchange for working at skilled nursing homes or hospitals, including changes to how awards are granted and renewed. The bill also creates a new special fund for road maintenance projects and outlines procedures for transferring various state funds to specific recovery accounts.
