SB 2017 appropriates $235.7 million for Mississippi's Department of Transportation's Office of State Aid Road Construction for fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). It allocates $5.3 million specifically for staff salaries and filling open positions (including $392,000 for "vacancy funding"), with strict limits to prevent exceeding budgeted personnel costs.
