General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Sustainable Energy Partnership Program between JSU and Entergy.

SB 2964 would have allocated $4.3 million from Mississippi's General Fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support the Sustainable Energy Partnership Program between Jackson State University (JSU) and Entergy Mississippi. The program, specifically involving JSU's College of Science, Engineering and Technology, aims to advance sustainable energy initiatives through collaboration with the utility company. This appropriation would have provided funding for research, development, or educational activities under this partnership. However, the bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.
