Appropriation; Pearl River Valley Water Supply District.

HB 11 authorizes $23.3 million in state funds for the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District to cover its operating expenses during fiscal year 2025-2026. The bill specifies funding for 102 permanent staff positions, dredging operations in Ross Barnett Reservoir, a study on spillway gates, and construction of a new office building. It also includes conditions requiring the district to waive traffic control fees for "REZ" tag vehicles and exempt certain fishing tournaments (like the ESPN Bass Masters Classic) from launch fees and lottery systems. The funds must be spent per state accounting rules and cannot replace federal or other special funds. This is a funding bill directly affecting the district's budget and operational planning.
