General Fund; FY2027 appropriation to Simpson County for the purchase of equipment for its fire departments.

SB 3297 appropriates $210,000 from the Mississippi State General Fund to Simpson County for the purchase of equipment for its fire departments during fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). The funding directly supports Simpson County’s fire departments by covering costs for acquiring necessary equipment, such as vehicles or safety gear. The bill specifies that the state treasurer will disburse the funds upon proper requisitions, effective July 1, 2026. This is a straightforward funding allocation with no policy changes beyond the financial support for local fire department operations.
