Sen. Angela Turner-Ford

Maddy summarySB 3180 would have authorized the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to provide funds specifically for the Town of Brooksville to cover costs of paving its streets and other infrastructure projects. The bill would have allowed the State Bond Commission to issue these bonds, with repayment guaranteed by Mississippi's full faith and credit, meaning state funds would cover payments if needed. The proceeds would have been transferred directly to Brooksville for approved street paving and infrastructure work, with no other restrictions. This bill did not create new policy but provided a funding mechanism for a specific local project. (Note: The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and was never enacted.)

Maddy summarySB 3174 would provide the City of Brooksville, Mississippi, with $500,000 from the State General Fund to cover costs for paving and infrastructure projects within the city during fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026). The bill specifies that state funds would be paid to the city upon proper requisitions, with the appropriation limited to the stated amount. It directly affects Brooksville's local infrastructure budget by supplementing city funds for road and public works improvements. The bill was introduced in 2025 but did not advance beyond the committee stage.

Maddy summarySB 2098 authorized Mississippi to issue state bonds to fund repairs, renovation, or construction of the Black Prairie Blues Museum in West Point. The bill directed bond proceeds specifically for the museum’s physical improvements, with the State Bond Commission managing the bond issuance and repayment. As a procedural bill focused solely on funding authorization (not policy changes), it had no broader legislative impact beyond this single museum project. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and was never enacted.

Maddy summarySB 3067 appropriated $3 million from Mississippi's General Fund to Noxubee County for road improvements to Macon Lynn Creek Road in Supervisor District 5 during fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). The bill directly affected residents and traffic using that specific road segment in Noxubee County. It provided a one-time funding allocation for physical road upgrades, with payment to be issued by the State Treasurer upon proper requisitions. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.

Maddy summarySB 3066 appropriates $400,000 from Mississippi's General Fund to Clay County for road repairs and improvements on West TVA Road in Supervisor District 1, covering the fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The bill directly affects residents and property owners in that specific road segment by funding physical maintenance and upgrades. It is a procedural funding measure with no policy changes, and it died in committee on February 26, 2025, meaning it did not advance further.
