Lottery; delete provision that ceases payment of Lottery Proceeds Fund monies into the State Highway Fund effective July 1, 2028.

SB 2019 deletes a provision that would have stopped directing lottery proceeds to the State Highway Fund after July 1, 2028. Currently, lottery funds flow to the Highway Fund for road repairs and maintenance, with any amount over $80 million in a fiscal year redirected to the Education Enhancement Fund for schools. The bill ensures highway funding continues indefinitely by removing the 2028 sunset date. This directly affects how Mississippi allocates lottery revenue between state highways and education programs.
