HB 1760 appropriates $31,391,612 for district attorneys' salaries, travel, and office expenses, plus $489,367 for assistant district attorneys, for Mississippi's 2025-2026 fiscal year. It specifically allocates $371,679 to fund two assistant district attorneys and one criminal investigator per prior law.

It also mandates submission of five-year strategic plans as required by state law. This funding directly supports Mississippi's 46 district attorney offices and their staff.
