Appropriation; City of Belzoni to help defray operational costs and capital expenses.

HB 804 appropriates $2,879,304 from the State General Fund to the City of Belzoni for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). The funding directly supports Belzoni’s operational costs (e.g., police/firefighter salaries, equipment like bulletproof vests and radios) and capital expenses (e.g., park renovations, street repairs, and city hall/police department upgrades). Specific allocations include $108,580 for police officer pay raises, $1 million for street repairs, and $300,000 each for police department and city hall renovations. The bill is a straightforward budget allocation with no new policy requirements, solely providing state funds to cover identified city expenses.
