Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund; increase amount of monies in that may be used to defray board of trustees expenses in carrying out duties.
HB 1363 increases the percentage of funds from the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund that the board of trustees and Department of Finance and Administration can use to cover their operational expenses. This change affects how the fund's administrative costs are managed, without altering the fund's primary purpose of supporting outdoor recreation and conservation projects. The bill specifically amends Section 49-39-7 to raise the allowable percentage for board expenses (currently capped at 3%). It is a procedural adjustment to administrative funding rules, not a policy change for conservation projects.
