Appropriation; MDOT to hire consultant for study on most efficient design of a certain corridor along MS Hwy 305 in DeSoto County.

HB 1866 provides $400,000 from the state general fund to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to hire a consultant for a feasibility study on the most efficient design for a section of Mississippi Highway 305 in DeSoto County, specifically from Church Street to Lewisburg. The study, to be completed by June 2026, will evaluate potential design options for improving traffic flow, safety, or infrastructure in this corridor. This bill only funds the study and does not implement any changes to the highway or its current design.
