Bonds; authorize for construction of a Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture and Math Center at Alcorn State University.
SB 3042 authorizes Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to fund the construction, furnishing, and equipping of a Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Math (STEAM) Outreach Center at Alcorn State University. The bill directs bond proceeds to a special fund for the center's development, with the state pledging its full credit for repayment. This funding mechanism directly affects Alcorn State University as the recipient of the facility, which will serve as an outreach center for STEAM education. The bill does not create new policies but enables financing for a specific campus infrastructure project.
