Lottery and gaming proceeds; revise to distribute to the State Highway Fund.
HB 58 redirects all lottery and gaming revenue (including sports betting fees) to Mississippi's State Highway Fund for highway construction, repair, and maintenance, instead of previous allocations. It specifically removes an existing exception that previously diverted $3 million annually from sports betting fees to a bond sinking fund. The bill ensures all net lottery proceeds and gaming revenue must now fund highways first, prioritizing federal matching programs for infrastructure. This bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, so it has not become law.
