Appropration; American Legion Tyner Ford Post 213 in Vicksburg for making upgrades and renovations to the American Legion Building.
HB 1787 was a proposed bill that would have provided $123,010 in state funding from the General Fund to the American Legion Tyner Ford Post 213 in Vicksburg for building upgrades and renovations during fiscal year 2025-2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The bill, which died in the Appropriations committee on February 26, 2025, was a straightforward funding request with no policy changes, solely allocating money to a local veterans' organization for facility improvements. It did not create new laws or affect broader public policy, as it was limited to a specific appropriation for a named entity. The bill’s text contained no provisions beyond the funding amount, payment method, and effective date.
