Dept. of Ed.; revise FY 2025 appropriation to provide that a certain sum may be used for continuation of the current school safety program.

HB 1526 would have redirected $1.4 million in the FY 2025 state budget to continue Mississippi's existing school safety program. The bill specifically amended an appropriations section to ensure this funding was available for the program's ongoing operation. It directly affected Mississippi public schools and the State Department of Education, which administers the program. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
