Appropriation; Additional appropriation for various state agencies.

HB 1773 provides additional state funding for legal expenses and corrections. It allocates $156,842 from the Capital Expense Fund to cover court costs, settlements, and legal fees for the Attorney General's Office related to specific cases, including Curtis Flowers v. State of Mississippi ($50,000) and Eddie Lee Howard v. State of Mississippi ($50,000). An additional $995,000 from the Capital Expense Fund is designated for ongoing legal matters through June 2026, including $350,000 for a federal CRIPA investigation into the Department of Corrections. The bill also includes a $0 allocation for the Corrections medical program under the General Fund. This is a procedural funding measure to cover existing legal obligations, not a policy change.
