General Fund; FY2027 appropriation to MDA for the West Central Mississippi Incubator Grant Program.

SB 2145 appropriates $500,000 from Mississippi's General Fund to the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) for the West Central Mississippi Incubator Grant Program during fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). The bill provides funding to cover the program’s operational expenses but does not create new policies or alter existing laws. It directs the State Treasurer to disburse funds via warrants upon proper requisitions, effective July 1, 2026. This is a routine funding measure for an existing program, with no specified direct beneficiaries beyond the MDA’s implementation of the grant program.
