Appropriation; IHL MSU - Cooperative Extension Service for administration of the MS Youth Preparedness Initiative.

HB 890 appropriates $100,000 from the State General Fund to Mississippi State University's Cooperative Extension Service for the 2026 fiscal year. This funding specifically helps cover administrative costs associated with running the Mississippi Youth Preparedness Initiative, a program supporting youth development. The money is in addition to regular university funding and must be used solely for administering this initiative during fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). The bill does not change program policies or create new requirements - it only provides targeted financial support for existing program administration.
