Bonds; authorize issuance for construction of a Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture and Math Center at Alcorn State University.

HB 1677 authorizes Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to fund the construction, equipment, and operation of a Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Math (STEAM) outreach center at Alcorn State University. The bill specifies that bond proceeds would cover all project costs, including construction and equipment, and are backed by the full credit of the Mississippi state government. This funding mechanism would directly support Alcorn State University's facility development. The bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee but died there on February 26, 2025.
