Legislative Public Project Grant Program; create.
HB 150 would create a program allowing each Mississippi legislator to award $25,000 annually for public projects within their district, with funds distributed to the county where the project is located. Projects could combine grants from multiple legislators, and the Mississippi Development Authority's Community Services Division would set application criteria and oversee disbursement. The program would expire on July 1, 2029, and was scheduled to take effect July 1, 2026. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
