Appropriation; IHL - General support.

This Mississippi bill appropriates over $1.5 billion in state and special funds to support the eight state universities for the 2025 fiscal year, covering general operations, maintenance, and repairs. A key provision establishes a rule requiring off-campus centers to receive at least 65% of the funding rate applied to on-campus students while charging only direct costs. The legislation also allocates specific amounts for the Mississippi Governor's School for the Gifted and Talented and the Teacher Corps, and directs the Board of Trustees to eliminate duplicate programs and avoid using general funds to replace withdrawn federal money.
