General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Newton County for facility improvements at the county's Detention Center and Sheriff's Office.

SB 3242 appropriates $200,000 from Mississippi's General Fund to Newton County for renovations and construction at its Detention Center and Sheriff's Office, covering costs for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The funds would directly support facility improvements at these specific county locations. The bill was referred to the Appropriations Committee but died there on February 26, 2025, meaning it did not advance further. This is a procedural funding measure, not a policy change, affecting only Newton County's law enforcement infrastructure.
