General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to City of Petal for improvements to wastewater infrastructure.

SB 2958 allocates $1 million from Mississippi's State General Fund to the City of Petal for wastewater infrastructure improvements. The funds cover design, construction, and upgrades needed to transport Petal's wastewater to Hattiesburg's sewer lagoon during fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026). The bill directs state payments through standard fiscal processes upon city requisitions. This appropriation directly affects Petal's wastewater management and Hattiesburg's receiving infrastructure, with no additional policy changes beyond the funding mechanism.
