HB 482 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to assist with establishment of Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency Infectious Disease Testing Lab.

HB 482 authorizes Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to fund the construction, equipment, and improvements needed for a new infectious disease testing lab at the Mississippi Blood Services Building in Flowood. The lab will be operated by the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency (MORA), directly supporting its mission to process organ donations safely. The bill establishes a special fund to disburse bond proceeds specifically for this facility, with the state pledging full credit to repay the bonds. This is a funding mechanism for a physical infrastructure project, not a policy change affecting broader public health regulations.
