Appropriation; City of Petal for wastewater infrastructure improvements.

HB 4001 provides $1.2 million in state funding to the City of Petal to cover costs for expanding its wastewater infrastructure. This appropriation directly assists Petal in constructing improvements needed to transport wastewater to Hattiesburg's sewer lagoon during fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). The funds come from the state general fund and are specifically designated for infrastructure upgrades required to connect to Hattiesburg's system. As a procedural funding bill, it does not establish new policy but provides financial support for a defined infrastructure project.
