HB 1112 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Office of State Aid Road Construction; exempt from PPRB approval for certain contracts and revise related sections.

HB 1112 exempts the Office of State Aid Road Construction (OSARC) from Public Procurement Review Board (PPRB) approval for personal service contracts. It also increases the number of passenger vehicles OSARC may own and operate from seven to thirteen. The bill requires counties that fail to spend allocated funds for bridge repairs over two consecutive fiscal years to forfeit unspent balances, with those funds reallocated to counties having ready-to-proceed bridge projects lacking funding. These changes streamline OSARC operations and aim to improve efficiency in using state bridge repair funds.
