SB 3046 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Appropriation; Debt Service-Gen. Obli.

This bill appropriates $422 million from the State General Fund to pay banks for handling state bond payments and to cover maturing state bonds and interest due during fiscal year 2026. It allocates $17.75 million specifically for "full faith and credit" state bonds and $34.54 million for revenue bonds falling due between July 2025 and June 2026. The funds will be paid from the State Treasury using designated accounts, including special source funds and bond interest earnings. The bill is effective July 1, 2025, and expires June 30, 2025 (though this date appears to be a typo in the bill text).

What changed between versions

As Introduced Current version · 1 edit
MINOR
The bill was amended to correct a critical error in the effective and repeal dates. The original version incorrectly set the repeal date to June 30, 2025, which would have caused the entire funding authorization to expire before it could take effect. The corrected version properly sets both the effective date and repeal date to July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026 respectively, ensuring the funding remains available for the full fiscal year.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains the same regarding funding amounts and purposes, but the timeline for applicability was corrected to prevent premature expiration of the appropriation.
TIMELINE

The repeal date was changed from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026, and the effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2026, ensuring the funding covers the full fiscal year 2026 instead of expiring before it begins.
