General Fund; FY2027 appropriation to Sustainable Energy Partnership Program between JSU and Entergy.

SB 3018 provides $4.3 million in state funding from the General Fund for fiscal year 2027 to support the Sustainable Energy Partnership Program between Jackson State University (JSU) and Entergy Mississippi. The bill directly funds an existing agreement between JSU's College of Science, Engineering and Technology and Entergy Mississippi, L.L.C. It does not create new policy but allocates resources for the program's operations during the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The funding will be disbursed through standard state fiscal processes as specified in the bill.
