Appropriation; MDOT for building a bypass on MS Hwy 24 around the Town of Liberty.

HB 1906 is a funding bill that allocates $16.3 million from the state general fund to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) for a bypass project on Mississippi Highway 24 around the Town of Liberty in Amite County. This funding, intended for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, would directly support construction costs for the bypass, aiming to improve traffic flow and safety for Liberty residents and travelers. The bill specifies that funds would be disbursed by the State Treasurer upon proper requisitions. However, the bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not advance to become law.
