HB 59 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Gaming proceeds; revise distribution to the 2022 Maintenance Project Fund and the 2022 Capacity Project Fund.

HB 59 redirects Mississippi's gaming and lottery revenue streams. It revises how funds from sports betting fees (previously required for highway repairs) are distributed, instead splitting them 50/50 between the 2022 Maintenance Project Fund and 2022 Capacity Project Fund. The bill also removes the requirement for these specific fees to fund highway repairs, redirecting them to broader transportation infrastructure projects. This legislation, which died in committee on February 4, 2025, affects state highway funding mechanisms and the allocation of gaming revenue.
