Capitol Complex Improvement District Project Fund; revise purposes for which monies in may be used.
HB 1068 amends Mississippi's Capitol Complex Improvement District Project Fund to allow up to 10% of its funds to pay the Office of Capitol Police for police coverage during major events in the Capitol Complex district. This directly affects the Capitol Police unit within the Department of Public Safety, expanding the fund's existing use for compensating city police/fire services. The bill does not change the fund's primary purpose of financing district improvement projects (requiring 85% of funds for this), nor does it alter tax revenues or debt limits. It simply adds Capitol Police event coverage as an eligible expense under the fund's current spending rules.
