HB 63 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Appropriation; IHL for making restorations and renovations on certain projects at JSU, ASU and MVSU.

HB 63 allocates $300 million equally to Jackson State University (JSU), Alcorn State University (ASU), and Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU) for renovations and restorations. The funding targets projects that have been requested by the legislature for over two years, addressing long-pending infrastructure needs at these historically Black universities. It directs the State Treasurer to disburse funds from the General Fund for the 2027 fiscal year (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027), as specified in the appropriation. The bill does not create new policies but provides direct financial support for existing project requests.
