Appropriation; Holmes County Consolidated School District for construction of a new high school.

HB 1856 would have allocated $20 million from Mississippi's state general fund to Holmes County Consolidated School District to cover costs for building a new high school during fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). The bill specified that funds would be paid to the school district's board of trustees via state warrants upon proper requisitions. However, the bill died in the Appropriations committee on February 26, 2025, and never became law, meaning no appropriation was enacted. This was a straightforward funding measure for a specific school construction project, not a policy change affecting broader legislation.
