General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Yalobusha County for improvements and equipment for the Velma Fire Department.

SB 3196 would have allocated $25,000 from the state General Fund to Yalobusha County for specific equipment and facility improvements at the Velma Fire Department during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The funds were intended to cover direct costs for upgrades and new equipment, not general operational expenses. The bill was referred to the Appropriations Committee but died there on February 26, 2025, and did not become law. This was a straightforward funding measure for a local fire department, with no broader policy changes.
