Appropriation; IHL - Mississippi State University - Forest and Wildlife Research Center.

SB 3007 appropriates $6.26 million from general state funds and $1.37 million from special sources (including $450,000 from the Education Enhancement Fund) to cover the day-to-day operating and maintenance costs of Mississippi State University's Forest and Wildlife Research Center for fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The bill specifically directs that general funds cannot replace other funding sources and requires special funds to be reported in future budget requests. It also reappropriates $1 million from the Capital Expense Fund for Deer Lab renovations, matching prior authorization, and mandates compliance with state spending rules. This is a funding bill focused on sustaining existing operations, not creating new policy.
