Lottery and gaming fees; revise distribution to State Highway Fund and Education Enhancement Fund.
HB 57 redirects Mississippi lottery and gaming revenue streams. It requires all lottery proceeds to fund the State Highway Fund (for road repairs) and the Education Enhancement Fund, with any lottery revenue exceeding $80 million in a fiscal year directed specifically to early childhood programs and classroom supplies. The bill also eliminates a prior provision that diverted sports betting fees to highways, instead mandating all such fees go directly to the Highway Fund for road maintenance. The bill was proposed but died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
