"MS Student Funding Formula"; clarify provision that requires deposit of certain tax revenue into the Education Enhancement Fund does not repeal.
This bill clarifies that Mississippi's student funding law now directs tax revenue to the "Education Enhancement Fund" (replacing the previously abolished "Educational Facilities Revolving Loan Fund") for deposit purposes, without changing existing funding distribution mechanisms. It specifically amends Section 27-65-75 to ensure loan repayments from the former fund are directed to the Department of Finance and Administration until obligations are satisfied. The bill does not alter how funds are allocated to municipalities, schools, or the Capitol Complex Improvement District. It is a procedural clarification to align the law with current practice, not a substantive policy change.
