Appropriation; City of Tupelo for acquiring property for a new cemetery in the city.

HB 1824 appropriated $1 million from the state general fund to the City of Tupelo to help cover costs for acquiring land for a new cemetery, requiring the city to provide 100% matching funds. The bill would have covered fiscal year 2025-2026 (July 2025-June 2026) but died in committee on February 26, 2025, meaning it did not become law. It directly affected Tupelo's governing authorities by providing state financial assistance for cemetery land acquisition. This was a purely procedural funding measure with no substantive policy changes beyond the allocation.
