HB 984 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Appropriation; Belzoni Humphreys Development Foundation for repairs and restoration work at the Catfish Museum.

HB 984 proposes a $200,000 state appropriation to the Belzoni Humphreys Development Foundation for repairs and restoration work at the city-owned Catfish Museum and Depot Theater in Belzoni. The funding is intended to cover costs necessary for reopening these facilities to the public during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The bill directs the State Treasurer to disburse funds from the General Fund upon proper requisitions. As a funding measure, it does not create new policy but allocates existing state resources for specific infrastructure repairs.
