HB 981 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Appropriation; Sharkey County for local match funding for county emergency management agency for construction of certain facilities.

HB 981 proposed appropriating $5 million from the state general fund to Sharkey County's Board of Supervisors for local match funding toward constructing three emergency facilities: a community safe room, emergency operations center, and distribution center. This funding would support the Sharkey County Emergency Management Agency's construction efforts for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and never became law. It did not alter existing state law but sought to provide specific local funding for emergency infrastructure.
