SB 2049 Mississippi Senate · 2025 First Extraordinary Session

State Budget process; revise provisions related to and transfer certain funds.

SB 2049 adjusts state budget allocations by transferring specific funds between accounts and creating new designated funds. It directs $18 million from the Capital Expense Fund to the Mississippi State University Veterinary School Fund for campus renovations, transfers $2.5 million to create a Mississippi Veteran's Home Improvement Fund for a new Rankin County facility, and establishes a United States Fire Insurance Company Settlement Fund using existing funds. The bill also corrects a reference to the 2022 Emergency Road and Bridge Fund, repeals the March 2023 Storm Housing Mission Fund, and reallocates over $820 million across 12 other funds for infrastructure, healthcare, and disaster programs. This is a procedural budget adjustment, not a new policy, focusing solely on fund management.
