General Fund; FY2027 appropriation to the City of Ocean Springs for utility relocation to provide for widening of Highway 90.

SB 3224 appropriates $2.5 million from Mississippi's General Fund to the City of Ocean Springs for utility relocation costs associated with widening U.S. Highway 90. The funds will cover expenses directly related to moving utilities (like power or water lines) to accommodate the highway expansion project managed by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. This appropriation is specifically for the fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027) and affects only Ocean Springs' infrastructure planning for Highway 90 improvements. The bill is a straightforward funding allocation with no policy changes or broader implications.
