What changed between versions
Added 10 new sections (Sections 4-20) reappropriating funds to additional agencies including Department of Finance and Administration, State Department of Health (multiple programs), Department of Child Protection Services, University of Mississippi Medical Center, Department of Mental Health, Mississippi National Guard, Department of Public Safety, District Attorney's office, Supreme Court, Mississippi Postsecondary Education Financial Assistance Board, Independent Schools, and Mississippi Department of Transportation.
Modified funding amounts for existing sections, including Section 1 ($37,594,226.00), Section 2 ($358,693,365.00), and Section 3 ($602,722.00), with new sections adding millions more in total funding across various programs.
Added new compliance sections (Sections 21-24) requiring agencies to certify compliance with federal guidelines, prohibiting use for employee premium payments, establishing audit requirements, and creating repayment obligations if funds are misused.
Added Section 22 defining 'agency' as the entities receiving reappropriated funds in Sections 1 through 20, establishing uniform application of requirements across all recipients.
Added Section 24 clarifying the effective date (July 1, 2025) and repeal date (June 30, 2025), though this appears to be a technical correction for the fiscal year timing.
Added enforcement mechanisms in Section 23 requiring agencies to certify compliance with Treasury guidelines and Section 24 establishing repayment obligations if federal inspectors determine funds were improperly used.
