Appropriation; Sharkey County for making repairs and improvements to the County Courthouse.
HB 983 allocates $2.5 million from the state general fund to Sharkey County's Board of Supervisors for necessary repairs and improvements to the county courthouse, which was damaged and remains disabled since the 2023 tornado. The funds are intended to cover costs associated with restoring the courthouse during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill specifies that the State Treasurer will disburse the funds upon proper requisitions. This is a direct appropriation bill focused on infrastructure recovery, not a policy change affecting broader public programs.
