Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund; increase amount of monies in fund that may be used to defray board of trustees expenses in carrying out duties.

The bill was amended to remove the authorization for issuing $1 million in state bonds to fund the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund, shifting the focus entirely to revising the fund's internal spending rules. The most significant policy change allows the Board of Trustees to use up to 3% of the fund's monies (capped at $300,000 annually) to cover actual administrative expenses, whereas the previous version allowed only 2% of monies for expenses. The bill title was also updated to reflect that it is now being sent to the Governor rather than having passed the House.
