HB 1791 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Appropriation; reappropriate EEF funds to IHL for expansion of the nursing program at MUW.

HB 1791 proposed reassigning $2.47 million from Mississippi's Education Enhancement Fund to expand nursing programs at Mississippi University for Women (MUW) for fiscal year 2026. The bill would have covered costs associated with MUW's nursing program expansion as specified in prior legislation. However, the bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law. This funding was intended to directly support MUW's nursing program, faculty, and students, but no actual appropriation occurred.
