Bonds; authorize issuance for constructing a Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture and Math Center at Alcorn State University.

SB 2878 proposed authorizing Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to fund the construction, furnishing, and equipping of a Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Math (STEAM) Outreach Center at Alcorn State University. The bonds, backed by the state's full faith and credit, would be sold to raise money, with proceeds restricted solely to the center project and related costs. The bill specified that bond proceeds must be used exclusively for the STEAM center and that the bonds would be exempt from state taxation. The legislation died in committee in February 2025 without becoming law.
