Educational Facilities Construction, Infrastructure and Capital Improvements Grant Program; create for purpose of improving educational facilities.

HB 1483 establishes a permanent grant program administered by Mississippi's State Department of Education to fund school facility improvements. It creates a dedicated fund (initially funded by $30 million annually) for public school districts to use on new construction, renovations, career-technical education facilities, or infrastructure upgrades - not athletic facilities - with a $10 million per district cap over five years. Grants prioritize emergency safety needs, health compliance, and energy efficiency, requiring districts to submit applications demonstrating project necessity and local funding capacity. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
