ARPA Rural Water Associations Infrastructure Grant Program; extend repealer on exemption from certain Public Procurement Review Board requirements.
HB 1774 extends the expiration date of an exemption from Mississippi's Public Procurement Review Board (PPRB) requirements for personal/professional services contracts under the ARPA Rural Water Associations Infrastructure Grant Program. The exemption, originally set to expire in 2026, would now expire on July 1, 2029, allowing the State Department of Health to continue entering such contracts without PPRB approval. This bill does not alter the grant program's funding, eligibility, or operational rules. It is a procedural amendment focused solely on extending the procurement exemption period.
