Veterans parks; create grant program to assist municipalities and counties with improvements to.

HB 1275 establishes a grant program to help Mississippi municipalities and counties fund repairs, renovations, and upgrades to veterans parks they operate or maintain. The bill creates a special "Municipalities and Counties Veterans Parks Fund" in the state treasury, which will provide grants administered by the Department of Finance and Administration. Local governments must apply with project details and prove they've secured matching funds (at least the requested grant amount) from local, private, or other sources before receiving assistance. The program takes effect July 1, 2025, with unspent funds rolling over annually.
