Appropriation; provide funding for public defender and assistants in the 7th Circuit Court District and the CCID.

HB 1806 allocates $800,000 from Mississippi's State General Fund to cover salaries and operations for public defenders and their assistants serving in the 7th Circuit Court District and the Capitol Complex Improvement District (CCID) during fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026). This funding supports existing public defender offices as required by Mississippi law, directly affecting the staff and services provided to indigent defendants in those two jurisdictions. The bill is a routine funding measure, not a policy change, specifying the exact amount and timeframe for payment through the State Treasurer. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and was never enacted.
